Your server supports PFS, some browsers don't.  Or prefer non-PFS
cipher-suites to PFS.  Default settings of OpenSSL 1.0.0 or later
have sensibly ordered ciphersuites.  Sufficiently recent versions
of Apache enable EDH/EECDH (aka PFS) cipher-suites by setting
appropriate parameters ((p,g) pairs or named curves).
