This depends on various parameters: which goffice version? Was goffice
compiled with GNOME support or not?
When compiled without gnome support, goffice-0.6.x tests for the
$BROWSER variable but I'm not sure that it would accept your variable. A
simple path to an executable should work, something as
BROWSER="/usr/bin/w3m".

Current development version just calls g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri
(eventually through a call to gtk_show_uri if present).
