Intermittent freezes during search result compilation when using search keywords

• Bug report

Version:

Vimperator: 3.14.0 (created: 2016/06/07 23:58:16)
Firefox:    Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0

Description:

Compilation of search results during keyword searches intermittently freezes Firefox. These freezes last up to about a second.

I believe this issue appeared either in 3.14.0 or 3.13.1.

Expected behavior:

Show search results without intermittently freezing Firefox.

Steps to reproduce:

• Have some history. I do not know how much history is needed.
• Assign a search keyword to a search bookmark (e.g. duck).
• Open a page by typing duck whatever search terms.
• Firefox freezes, for example, like this: duck wha[freeze]tever s[freeze]earc[freeze]h terms

I encountered exactly the same problem. set cpt=l seems to be a temporary fix whilst waiting for an actual patch.

I also experience this issue. gregist's solution is unsatisfactory because it breaks the (non-buggy) completion of non-keyword search engines.

Looks to me like the problem is probably in content/bookmarks.js either in getSuggestions or in the call to getSuggestions in completion.searchEngineSuggest ...?

I'm happy to help if I can, but I'd need a developer more experienced with the project and with developing firefox addons in general to apprentice me a bit.
