I picked this one as an example.  Firefox on Android showed what you
described, on the first Bullet Point.

*However*,  the DuckDuckGo Android Browser put the content on the same line
as the Bullet Point.

So I back up the suggestion by the other responder to try other Browsers.

(As to Firefox, don't know what to suggest).
