More than one reason, but indeed, testing is one of them.
Another one: I still find it easy to have several browsers (with
different icons) open at the same time for different purposes.

Alt-tab between for instance Firefox and Firebird is quicker than
Ctrl-tab-tab-tab-tab between two tabs in Firefox. I usually have about
10 tabs open in Firefox, anywhere between 6 and 20 in Opera, and only
a couple in Firebird en sometimes even IE is open in one or two
windows.

Outlook Express links open in Firebird, Dialog links open in Opera.
Firefox is my main work-browser. IE is only used when I really want to
see something in Flash, and for testing my own work.

The rest of my browsers are really only used when a site is about
finished, and I need to check for weird glitches and bugs.
