Found it. I had forgotten I changed that file about two years ago, also 
because of FF.

/etc/security/limits.conf:
...
#cer needs more, FF starts hundreds of threads.
cer             hard    nproc           6000
cer             soft    nproc           4096
root            hard    nproc           3000
root            soft    nproc           1850
# 2022-09-28, number of files. With default 1024 I can only open 3 firefox 
instances.
cer             soft    nofile          2048
cer             hard    nofile          2048
