(global-set-key
 (quote [f4])
 (lambda()
   (interactive)
   (cond 
    ((setq url (w3m-url-valid (w3m-anchor)))
     (browse-url-firefox url)) 
    (t (command-execute 'browse-url-firefox)))))

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'w3m-browse-url)


Here I can open a "link" in an html email/post in external firefox using
F4 but standard return is w3m. There are many pages where w3m doesn't
cut the mustard. The "cond" statement above extracts the url from a
formatted link in an html article/mail in a w3m/gnus-html buffer.
