The emacs-w3m developers went to some trouble to ensure that normal people who aren't Emacs otaku can also use emacs-w3m. You can perform most web browsing operations using only the mouse except for entering text, e.g. URL, forms, etc. Note that sometimes you might still need to use modifier keys since the emacs-w3m developers are all Emacs otaku...
Use mouse-2 to "follow links" (the first basic of web browsing).
Under Emacs 22.1 and newer, you can also follow links using

Scrollbar, menubar and toolbar are helpful in emacs-w3m when you use a mouse (your Emacs must support them, and you must have enabled them). You can scroll an emacs-w3m window using the scrollbar. You can invoke many emacs-w3m commands described in this manual from the "W3M" menu which appears in the leftmost menubar next to the "File" menu. Note: it's not necessary to use the menubar for most emacs-w3m commands, you can use the toolbar icons instead.
To switch between buffers in an emacs-w3m window using "Tabs" (see section 3.5 Everybody likes tabs), click on the topmost line in an emacs-w3m window directory using mouse-2 or choose one from the "TAB" menu which appears next to the "W3M" menu.
