I hope that was a typo but in any event it still doesn't produce the
desired results even when spelled correctly:
Eval: (setq w3m-pop-up-windows nil)
Eval: (setq w3m-pop-up-frames t)

browse-url-of-file  still pulls it into an unseen buffer (*w3m*)

Being selected would make it visible right?  Its not here.

Evalling above verbatim:
Eval: (setq special-display-buffer-names
      (cons "*w3m*" special-display-buffer-names)) <RET>

And then running browse-url-of-file still doens't come up in a
visible window or frame.
