Are you certain that you're even using the compctl completions?  Most
configurations nowadays use what we call "compsys", and have compctl
as a fallback at best.

} w3m works fine (i.e. only html files are listed)

If instead of <TAB> you type <ctl+x>h what do you see?  If similar to:

tags in context :completion::complete:w3m::
    argument-rest options  (_arguments _w3m (eval))
...

then you need to use styles instead of compctl commands to control the
patterns used for file matching, like this:

zstyle ':completion::complete:firefox:*:' file-patterns '*(-/) *.html'
