Is it possible to open another Web Browser form the current browser

Question

Is it possible to Open another web Browser from current web browser using JavaScript...??

For Eg :If i am using Mozilla Firefox to view a web site and while clicking on a particular link (like an online payment mechanism), it must switch the browser to the Internet Explorer even if its not been given as a default browser.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

No, it's not. There is nothing special about a browser; it's just an executable like any other program. If this was possible, it'd be possible to execute an arbitrary program from a website, thus you could trick the user into running a malicious program.

Answer 2

no. it is not possible because of security restrictions.
