Er, although it might not be what you'd like to do, by setting
`w3m-goto-article-function' to `browse-url-firefox' (or `browse-url'),
you can use Firefox (or the browser that `browse-url-default-browser'
chooses automatically) to browse the url of a link in the article
buffer by typing the <RET> key there.  This is handled much better
in the most recent emacs-w3m[1] that is under development.

By the way, for the reason that the <RET> key is bound to
`w3m-safe-view-this-url' which browses only `cid:...' urls by
default, see: (info "(emacs-w3m)Gnus") <- type `C-x C-e' here.

    anonymous user, or simply download the tarball from:
