PS: I have --- at least temporarily --- disabled rtkit-daemon by masking the service and renaming /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.RealtimeKit1.service so dbus doesn't try to start it anymore. I've restarted firefox and am still seeing processes with higher priority in htop (labled as /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox). I've checked with ps that rtkit-daemon is not running. How can firefox assume a higher priority, and how do I prevent these processes from assuming higher priority?
