Different versions of Browsers or browser emulator

I am developing a website in ASP.NET MVC, using the latest IE and Chrome for testing. It looks fine, but there are some quirks on older browsers like IE 6/7. Sadly, client base is rural, and I saw some people running IE 6 and 7 on their systems, this web site just doesn't look what it is.

Installing different versions and copying pasting an address 10-15 times is painful. I already have (all latest) Opera, Firefox, IE and Chrome. So, I am looking for emulating older browsers.

Is there any way, I can emulate browsers' different versions especially IE and Firefox.

You can use portable versions of Firefox to be able to run them simultaneously, as for IE you can use IE Collections which contains different versions of IE :

Utilu IE Collection contains the following versions of IE:

  • Internet Explorer 1.0 (4.40.308)
  • Internet Explorer 1.5 (0.1.0.10)
  • Internet Explorer 2.01 (2.01.046)
  • Internet Explorer 3.0 (3.0.1152)
  • Internet Explorer 3.01 (3.01.2723)
  • Internet Explorer 3.03 (3.03.2925)
  • Internet Explorer 4.01 (4.72.3110.0)
  • Internet Explorer 5.01 (5.00.3314.2100)
