How to change plugin-container default process priority?

Hi I have FF 24.0 on an old Pentium 4 (3.0ghz) the problem i have is whenever a flash stream is being played (example: Youtube / di.fm) then when another tab or many tabs are opened, during the loading of those tabs the sound from the flash player shatters and starts breaking up. It seems that because this CPU has only 1 core which is not enough to support both the firefox and plugin-container, The only solution i found was by increasing the plugin container priority from the task manager to something higher than firefox.

So my question now is there anyway i can set the plugin-container to start as high priority rather then having to set it manually from the task manager every time? Is there any hidden option like (dom.ipc.priority) perhaps?

I haven't found a reliable way to achieve this.

Can you please file a bug at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org and post the bug # here?

You can create a new bugzilla account here.

Thanks!

Hi, I don't think tweaking can help that much as i have tried doing that already. The problem is the CPU is not fast enoug to support both firefox.exe and plugin-container.exe process so when ever firefox is doing something say loading a page no matter how hard those 2 process fight with each other firefox.exe always wins and gains more of the cpu usage that is why i want the plugin-container.exe to start up as high piority as that solves all the problems.
