Hmm, I am not sure you understand. Its not about testing a different browser.
It is about knowing in advance that a certain page received by mail will not
work the default browser. 

In my example I still have Konqueror set as my main browser because I like its
KDE integration even though it fails with some pages. It fails for example with
Ebay pages (bug is reported, not ebay as such, but there are some things which
do not work). So if I receive an email from Ebay with a link in it, I need to
open it in Firefox. An "Open with ->" and the list of available browsers would
help very much (would save the copy and paste). At the moment the context menu
when clicking on a link contains 4 elements, a fift and then a submenu with the
available browsers would not take so much space.

Ebay is just an example. Unfortunately the web/browsers are a moving target and
at the moment it seems like utopia to have one browser for all purposes/pages.
I know of many people who use more than one browser (not really by choice, but
because it does not work otherwise).
