Are there settings shared between FF - other browsers?

Can changing settings in Firefox (different versions) affect settings of other browsers installed on the machine such as IE8 and vice versa? Can changing settings on Windows 7 affect FireFox and vice versa. If so, is there a list of such settings/configurations that are shared and can be potentially changed?

No browser settings are shared, but some security settings in Windows can affect Firefox as well as IE.
