Why in firebug there are lots of Inherited parts for one element from * { }?

Question

As picture below shows, I see lots of Inherited parts from * selector (universal selector):

Is there any inefficiency in the way I wrote the code? Should I do something to prevent such situation or is it normal?

EDIT:
I see the same situation for G+:

Answer 1

With * you select every element. Then every child inherits some attributes of their parent-tags. This is why you got the very long inheritance list.

Something must be wrong, I don't get this long list. Please try this.
