Example for browser question

My original question was, why do different browsers such as Mozilla Foxfire or Internet Explorer show different results when you type in the same keyword in a search engine such as Google?

Example: First I go on to Mozilla Foxfire and go to Google and type in a keyword and search. Then I go onto Internet Explorer and go to Google and type in the very same keyword and do a search. The problem is the results are different, they come up in different order or one or two results are missing from the Internet Explorer search? Why is this?

It is likely the way that googls's search engine works and it is merely the different time affecting what was returned also if you look at how long it spent searching then that will also likely have an effect on what is found and in what order as well
