You can use Selenium RC (Selenium 1) or Selenium 2 (WebDriver) for automated test. But You have to record the test using Selenium IDE on Firefox browser and writing some tests on it. Selenium supports FF, Chrome, IE, Safari and Opera.

I'm a fan of XenoCode's "Spoon Browser Sandbox" myself.

For the latter, look at httpUnit, though I'm not sure it can simulate multiple browsers.

You're looking for litmus, from the people who brought you doctype, part of the League of Justice. 14-day passes to test your layouts in 24 browsers currently cost $39.

I've used Browser Shots before and it's ok if you don't mind waiting for an hour or two.

I'd also recommend checking out some of the links on Delicious.

There's Microsoft Expression Web SuperPreview, but I haven't tried it so can't comment on if it's good or not.

Their opening quote makes me laugh though, mainly because of how sucky IE6 is:

About 7 years ago, the browser wars were over. Internet Explorer had become the de facto standard, and for a while, there were very few compatibility issues in web page design.

Check it out though, might be worthwhile. Especially if you are a .NET developer, however it might be useful to web developers in general.
