I have the following setup that works for me:

 '(browse-url-browser-function (quote w3m-browse-url))
 '(browse-url-generic-program nil)
 '(browse-url-new-window-flag t)

 '(org-file-apps 
   (quote (
           (auto-mode . emacs) 
           ("\\.x?html?\\'" . (browse-url file))
           ("\\.pdf\\'" . default)
          )
   )
  )

Thank you all for support!! :D
