Parameter fuzzing and forced browsing

Subject: Parameter fuzzing and forced browsing
Date: 9 Aug 2006 14:26:59 -0000
I was going through the OWASP Top Ten Guide and I came across these terms:-

1. Parameter fuzzing
2. Forced browsing

What are these? Is forced browsing something like an attempt to access a 
resource that I am not supposed to access by putting the direct link with the 
necessary parameter values in a hope that may be in that page the 
authentication is broken?

Also, I read about fuzzers. Can someone throw light on what are fuzzers?
