Do different browsers affect SE positions for major search engines

[Monalisa]

Hello Every body,

look for some tool that will show your request headers.
maybe your browsers are set up for different locales...

Thanks for the reply...
But I have actually found out a solution...only with the help of other fellow members...who gave me the answer for it...

The reason behind it was while checking the SERP's in different browsers(mainly IE and Firefox)...if you are logged into your Gmail account then the google search in IE tends to pick up UK results...and the one in firefox tends to pick up USA results...that's why they show different results...for the same keywords...

Thanks for helping me out...
