My Google Search results look really annoying. I am not sure if this was before, but I noticed after I created a new Firefox profile and instead of pulling sync prefs it pushed them.
I thought this could be a reason, but while not logged in and with my second Google account, I see the usual results page with white background and non-space-separated search results.
Right now, around every result is a box and in between them is a separation space. This looks really annoying for me (since I search a lot every day) and is also wasting height. A third aspect is that context information (like I type Google and it shows the Google Inc. information box) are not shown beside but inline:
I could not find any settings to reset this. Since it really annoys me, can anybody help?
I'm using Windows 10 on a desktop and Firefox 46. This problem occurs on different machines but only in one account. So there might be a account specific setting?

That looks like the mobile version of Google Search. Testing it on my desktop I get the usual white background:
However searching on iPad with Chrome or with Safari I get what you have shown, with the grey spaces in between. I can also confirm that with an Android phone you get the grey spaces.
As a fix, but it's not a great one because it breaks the nice mobile friendly view:
