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?
