Description

The BrowserIndex property specifies the browser index among other running browsers with the same name.

For example, if you have two different Firefox versions installed and both of them are currently running, the first launched Firefox process has BrowserIndex of 1 and the other one has BrowserIndex of 2.

Similarly, if 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Internet Explorer are running at the same time on 64-bit Windows, one browser instance has BrowserIndex of 1 and the other one has BrowserIndex of 2.
