I don't think Google search results should even be detected as applicable for reader-mode.

Oh this is desktop/tablet search results *only*

Comment 3

[:Gijs (he/him)]

It seems to no longer do this, but instead just redirect back to the page itself (ie reader mode fails). Which is both a good and a bad thing, I guess...?

Tested with:

Scenarios:
- 37 Beta 8 and 39 Nightly: perform a search with google, will display in the URL Bar the reader mode icon. Entering reader mode, the page will be displayed correctly.
- 37 Beta 8: perform a search with google and request desktop site will also display the reader mode icon in the URL Bar. Entering reader mode, the page does not look properly, code is displayed instead of links
- 39 Nightly: perform a search with google and request desktop site, only sometimes the reader mode icon is displayed in the URL Bar. Entering reader mode, the page will be displayed correctly: http://i.imgur.com/1HvZIdq.png
