This is a behavior that Firefox shows when the <li> has no visible
bullet points. As I checked back with Marco Zehe of Mozilla it is a
desired behavior, as they claim that it isn’t a list if there are no
bullets. I don’t think that’s a particularly good decision and I
wonder if it is against UAAG, being not familiar with that spec my
self.

There is nothing we can do at this point, besides hacking in
single-pixel-gifs as bullet points, but I think that would break other
things.
