Large js files loading automatically and freezing instance of dev tools

Reported by beauxja...@gmail.com, Sep 22 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. get a huge js file
2. open it in Sources tab for dev tools
3. every time you launch dev tools this file is open by default

What is the expected behavior?
should be able to open dev tools with no files loaded. in the case when a large js file loads, the system should not crash.

What went wrong?
system freezes due to large file

Chrome version: 53.0.2785.116  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

Surely, we should not crash.

As a workaround, you can open devtools on about:blank page, go to settings, and hit "Reset to defaults and reload" button. This will reset all your devtools preferences, and consequently prevent this file from opening by default.
