Steps to reproduce:

The following codepen shows that when you set a global line-height in a * selector, and then override it for a specific selector, it still uses the old value.

If you compare the codepen between Chrome and Firefox, you'll notice that in Chrome the lines are really close together (at a line-height of 1), but in Firefox they're really far apart (the old value 5).

Actual results:

The line-height was at the wrong, old value.

Expected results:

The line-height should've been overwritten to 1.

Weird the cascade would fail for this specific property.
