It's really not helpful to file a bug using a Netscape version and then file it
Firebird specific when this is not Firebird specific.

Resummarizing. Similar Mac-specific variant of this RFE: bug 97811. Moving to
same Browser component as 97811.

This should be pretty easy (this is already the default list item style).
It uses bullet (• - &8226;; • is supported on all Mozilla versions

Dup of bug 97811
duplicating bug and removing dependency

I don't think the • idea will work because that maps to u2022 which is too
small.  I think we'd have to pair up that with an increased font size or
something to get it to look right.

Regardless, we should move the conversation to bug 97811.
