  Hi again! I think i've get the solution!! xD

  Well, the first, set w3m as default browser of Emacs: 

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

  Then, set org-file-apps to use the default browser: 
 
      (add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.x?html?\\'" browse-url file)) 


  This work for me... bye!
