I found this workaround:

https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12738

~$ export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1
~$ webbrowser-app

now i can start webbrowser-app on Ubuntu 15.10 Alpha at Virtualbox 5.0

Happens also on my machine, only on Wily sistem:
 - guest: 15.10 Wily (updated today)
 - host: Ubuntu 14.04 (kernel 3.13, updated today)

Other info: this bug seems to be related to the guest additions I installed in my VM. Before I did it, webapps were working ok on Ubuntu 15.10.
VirtualBox and guest additions installed from Ubuntu repositories (not from Virtualbox website).
