Don't know about MSIE, but Firefox is open source so you can read the code
to find out.

The Firefox engine is called "Gecko."
IE...after a bit of searching, I believe is called "Trident."

Correct. For IE Windows, anyway. IE Mac is called Tasman. Opera is
called Presto. Safari and Konqueror both use KHTML. And I'm not going
any further than that! :-)
