The innerHTML needs to be huge. (try on bbc.com for example)

The reason is that the completion try to list all the keys of the string array.

Questions
Should it not occur only when typing innerHTML[ ?
Do we have something to avoid the case where there are too many keys to list? If no, it would be nice to have.

I think checking the amount of time that has elapsed like dcamp's patch in bug 700194 does would be perfect. Dave, can UpdateProcess be moved to a devtools/shared module?
