Using webapp-container --user-agent-string with Firefox user-agent-string works:
$ webapp-container https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox --app-id=comgooglemail --maximized --user-agent-string='Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:39.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/39.0'

Title:
  browser needs its own UA string

Status in webbrowser-app:
  Fix Released
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Actually the browser uses the iPhone user-agent which is not really a
  good idea, because most of webapps/websites will try to get users to
  download there iOS apps using popups & wrong links to itunes, we
  should try to find out the best combination, here are some UA examples
  :

  Firefox for Android:
  Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:13.0) Gecko/13.0 Firefox/13.0
  Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Tablet; rv:13.0) Gecko/13.0 Firefox/13.0

  Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 6_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0 Mobile/10A5376e Safari/8536.25

  Android:
