I am running Firefox 35.0.1 and I have the following User Agent String:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.3.1; en-gb; GT-I9300 Build/JLS36I) AppleWebKit/Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0.1 /534.30 CyanogenMod/10.2.0/i9300

Should I have something different in the string to get Gmail to work properly?

Is that an unofficial, 3rd party build for Android?

No, that user string gets me round tethering restrictions with my mobile service provider. It's a windows device.

Is it not reporting the Firefox version correctly?

I think I have found a workaround for Gmail, by adding "?nocheckbrowser" to the url, but I still have the problem with other applications such as Adobe Flash.
