Short answer: specify a font-family…
Longer answer: as you don't specify a font-family anywhere, you depend on the 
browser defaults (which maybe user set) - and on the intrinsic line-height of 
said font. On OS X, this is usually Helvetica and Times. Now, WebKit on OS X 
(still) has a build-in hack to force the line-height of those two fonts to 
match Arial and Times New Roman – hence the difference you see between Gecko 
(Firefox) and WebKit (Safari, Chrome).

If you specify both font-family and font-size, then position your bullets 
vertically, they'll be positioned correctly in all browser on a given platform. 
There might be small variations between platforms, but that is out of your 
control (font-smoothing, etc).
