Solution

Can you style a tag using css?

Yes, you can.

In firefox, it is displayed with dots underneath the words

Yes. Firefox default style is

abbr[title], acronym[title] {
    border-bottom: 1px dotted;
}

Is this a browser by browser thing?

Yes, this behaviour is determined by the default stylesheet of each browser. Then, different browsers may display it different by default.

Can you remove the dots?

Yes, just override the default syle:

abbr[title], acronym[title] {
    border-bottom: none;
}
