As I mentioned, C-c C-e b works fine for me: Org-mode version 7.4
(release_7.4.530.g3c69).

The precise way it works however depends on whether you are
on a GNU system (default: use mailcap), MacOSX (use specific applications or
default "open") or Windows (use w32-shell-execute open). All cases are
funnelled through the org-open-file function though, so tracing that
should tell you what's broken. The relevant variables are org-file-apps
and org-file-apps-defaults-{gnu,macosx,windowsnt}.

In my case (Ubuntu 10.10), I get a default "mailcap" map which takes
"text/html" to the entry in the system /etc/mailcap:
"/usr/bin/sensible-browser", a shell script which eventually opens the
file in firefox.

As for opening it in emacs w3m, I don't know how to do that.
