What does it mean when styling is crossed out?

I've set text-decoration for links to none.  But I still see an underline.  Looking in Firebug, there is a second instance that overrides the first.  Is this why the underline is still there?

I can disable the second instance but don't see any change.  The underline is still there on links.  What does this mean?

That probably means you haven't turned it off.  Underlining links is the default in most browsers.  See here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp
A common way of killing the underline is using ...
a:link {text-decoration:none;}

Yes - I have that but it has no effect.
Then you have it somewhere else also that is overwriting that one.  Add...
a {text-decoration:none;}
a:link {text-decoration:none;}
a:hover {text-decoration:none;}

I have all the above already.  How do I track down the override?

From the 2nd screenshot, you can see I have disabled the overrides.  The first instance of #footer a is all that is left at that point.
