It sounds to me as if one or two resources in your internet setup have been
fudged. It could be the permissions have been rewritten or your Internet
preferences have been corrupted.

Warning: I am not an expert in any way, but from what little I know about OS
X, this seems to be the most reasonable approach.

If I were you, the first line of attack would be to get Disk Utility to
repair your permissions. Then get Terminal to re-prebind your system files.

If you have Cocktail, it can do all these things and more.

If this doesn't work, you could look for the following files:

com.apple.internetpref.plist
com.apple.internetconnect.plist
com.apple.internetconfig.plist

These file are in your User/Library/Preferences folder and if you pull them
out, place them on your desktop (don't trash them yet) and rewrite your
Internet settings in the Internet System Preferences panel you may be able
to get the browsers working again.

Good luck...
