Confirmed. This may be on Google to fix.

Mike can you see if this is a web compat thing?

Hi Radek, can you test again? I get results in Nightly and Beta -- possibly this was a temporary problem? (see screenshot)

Hi Mike,
I can see results, too. This never was the problem.
The problem was (and remains to be) that if you click on any result, you do not get to the result, but to the cse.google.com.
See point 4 and actual and expected result at my bug report.

Oops, missed point 4. >_<

Yep, this is some kind of server-side problem on Google's end. It seems like the search results are also styled differently, with broken images on Fennec.

Karl, can you report this to Google please?

(To be more clear, the attached gif is Chrome with the Fennec UA string showing the bug at hand)

After searching lom,

-> On Firefox Desktop, the first link is
https://www.google.com/url?q=http://lokality.geology.cz/493&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwjAqN7M98PKAhXDr6YKHTkNDeUQFggEMAA&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNGoX0A-7vjp2VRSSwKkkThaIRmqrw

-> On Firefox Android UA, the first link is
https://cse.google.com/url?q=http://lokality.geology.cz/493&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwjjxsfv98PKAhWCqJQKHeoMA18QFggEMAA&usg=AFQjCNGoX0A-7vjp2VRSSwKkkThaIRmqrw


The search results are inserted through an iframe.

The domain name sent is different: cse.google.com vs www.google.com
not sure why.

On iOS 9, the same markup than desktop is sent with links on www.google.com domain.
