I forgot to write the way to map the `vv' key to `browse-url-firefox'
also in emacs-w3m buffers.  Here it is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-key w3m-mode-map "v" (make-sparse-keymap))
(define-key w3m-mode-map "vb" 'w3m-bookmark-view)
(define-key w3m-mode-map "vv"
  (lambda nil
    (interactive)
    (let* ((w3m-content-type-alist (copy-sequence w3m-content-type-alist))
	   (html (cdr (assoc "text/html" w3m-content-type-alist))))
      (setq w3m-content-type-alist (delq html w3m-content-type-alist))
      (setq html (copy-sequence html))
      ;; Make sure to use Firefox.
      (setcar (nthcdr 2 html) 'browse-url-firefox)
      (push html w3m-content-type-alist)
      (w3m-external-view-this-url))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This should be added to your ~/.emacs-w3m.el file, not anywhere else.
Note that it remaps the key for the `w3m-bookmark-view' command into
`vb'.  I think customizing too much the keymap is not a good idea,
though.  In emacs-w3m buffers, you can use the `M' command instead.
