Answer 1

Firefox has very useful WebDeveloper add-on. Lets you disable/enable various features of the browser on the fly. You can check how will your app work with cookies disabled or in 800x600 etc.

Answer 2

We use a couple of different machine images with IE6/IE7/IE8 FF2/FF3 Chrome, Opera & Safari for windows installed on them.

For developers, most have IE7 & Firefox installed. The Firefox Web Developer Add-in is handy. As is FireBug, Y-Slow & HTTPFox.

We'll target most sites to 1024*768 and then test to see they look fine @

1280*1024
1280*768 
1920*1080
1920*1200

For simple UI Interaction, we've used Selenium in the past for automated/macro testing

Answer 3

Besides testing various resolutions I also test with different DPI I've found its common for offices to use 120dpi on their workstations which can break sites in IE especially.
