Type in address bar in the browser "localhost:631" and enter. If you get the "500 internal server error" probably you have problems with some directory and its permissions. Try the command from the following thread:

Open a terminal and type the command: defaultbrowser

If you have switched browsers, this command may have been broken.

Thats was the answer :D
sh-4.1# defaultbrowser
/usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser: line 2: exec: google-chrome: not found

I'm using FireFox browser .
I must had some bad uninstallation with Chrome .
So , I guess I'll gonna have to edit some line with some text editor ?

menu->Setup->Setup Puppy->Default Application Chooser

Should be able to change default browser using this program.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Sorry!

I must have added that one to my install of Lucid 528.

Here is the pet package for Defaults Chooser 0.8.8.
