This was originally reported in https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1dukx2t/another_reason_why_google_is_evil/ and I can reproduce it.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. In Firefox Nightly for Android, do a google search for the string "android".
  2. Switch to the "News" tab.

Expected results:
The titles of the news in the top list should have reasonable line breaks.

Actual results:
In each result, there's a line break after the first word and second word of the title.

Chrome:

Firefox:

You

Looking at the DOM of the page in the devtools inspector, there is a <br> after "You" and after "could".

These <br> tags aren't there in Chrome, so this isn't a rendering difference or anything. I've reached out to them.
