You can't.
Not reliably, anyway: each browser stores it's information (including cookies, history and so forth) differently. IE uses individual files in a folder, Chrome uses an SqLite database.

Unless you could guarantee to know exactly which browser is concerned, and which version (there are 32 and 64 bit versions of Chrome for example) and that it isn't running (because some information is "cached" in memory, and Chrome holds it's DB open while any browser page is open) you are on a loser from the start.

And that doesn't start to cover the "smaller" browsers available - of which there are many.

If you want to do it far a specific version of a specific browser, you probably can - in which case, start with google.
