    Custom profiles on selenium-webdriver are sometimes fiddly. Try setting the preferences directly.
Here's the updated code for your example:
import {Builder, WebDriver} from 'selenium-webdriver';
import {Options} from "selenium-webdriver/firefox";

const customUA = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.143 Safari/537.36";
const options = new Options().setPreference('general.useragent.override', customUA);
const builder = new Builder().forBrowser('firefox').setFirefoxOptions(options);

const webDriver = this.createClientBuilder().build();

webDriver.get('http://whatsmyuseragent.com/');
