Thanks for the information.
I could verify that it fails via CUPS web interface when you do
it the first time - i.e. when CUPS does its authentication.
After authentication my Firefox returns with a blank page
but a special URL is shown in its URL line.
The default was not changed ("lpstat -d" still shows the old
default) but it changes when I let Firefox load the special URL
("lpstat -d" shows the new default and also Firefox's print menue).
Once you did the authentication (without restaring Firefox)
it works well via the CUPS web interface to change the
default to this or that queue (because as long as Firefox
runs there is no need for a second authentication).
Therefore it is a bug regarding how authentication via
the CUPS web interface works with the browser.
Perhaps it happens only in Firefox - perhaps Firefox's defaults
inhibit something (e.g. an automated replacement of a web page
by a new one - those with the special URL) or whatever the actual
reason might be (I am neither a HTTP nor a browser expert).
