I have four browsers on my computer. They are:

  • Internet Explorer 8
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Safari
  • Opera

The default browser is Firefox. My problem is that sometimes the other browsers (except Firefox) will not load any pages.

  • Please explain in more detail. How are you attempting to load the pages? For instance, are you using bookmarks? Typing a URL? Will the other browsers open a local HTML page?

There's no inherent problem with having all 4 of those browsers installed; all are separate programs and (theoretically) shouldn't interfere with each other. Try reinstalling one of the 3 problematic ones to see if it starts working.

  • I myself also use quite a lot of browsers at the same time. Including browsers in VMs. I think I have around a dozen right now... It can be very convenient and also for testing purposes while developing web sites. I have never encountered any trouble.

Theoretcailly, if there's no installation problems and everything is where it should be, then there should be no problem with the other 3.

Try re-installing them, checking all of your internet options in each one and make sure they all point to your internet source.
