I was tried to configure it already but without any success.
I have now in my .emacs file:
 '(org-file-apps (quote ((auto-mode . emacs) ("\\.x?html?\\'" . default)
 ("\\.pdf\\'" . default))))

so the default browser is: w3m (not Emacs-w3m).
In the org-file-apps customization buffer there is a Value Menu for
Exstension: \.x?html?\'. In this menu there are the options:
0 = Visit with Emacs
1 = Use default
2 = Use the system command
3 = Command
4 = Lisp form

When choosed 0 the link file://path/some.html was opened within Emacs
buffer for editing and not for viewing.
When choosed 1 the abowe mentioned link was opened in an xterm with w3m.
Options 2 and 3 was tried by me but without any success. Say I was tried
as Command 'w3m-browse-url' but get the same as with option 1.
In the case of option 4 I dont' know how could I configure Emacs to use
Emacs-w3m to open such a link.

Any advices?
