Not sure what you mean by "default browser".  If you mean for viewing
HTML mail attachments, look in your ~/.mailcap for an entry such as
mine:

text/html;/usr/bin/lynx -force_html %s

or in your /etc/mailcap which may have an entry like

text/html; /usr/bin/htmlview %s ; copiousoutput

If you put (or change) the desired entry in your ~/.mailcap, that will
override the (system-wide) /etc/mailcap entry.

If you are talking about a toolbar button, right-click on some blank
spot and select something like "Add Application" or "Add Application
Launcher".
