It's a non-zero switching cost for me. Every site that doesn't work in Firefox is a pain to use and I mostly don't bother.

Sure, but the QA cost to support Firefox is significantly higher than the small fraction of people that will refuse to use a site that doesn't support it when they encounter an issue.
Most normal users will simply switch away from Firefox, often permanently, if things break in Firefox.
Most normal users aren't technology experts. This makes supporting the free web that much more important for those in a position to know better.
