Getting an error on that page in Chrome.

    Refused to execute script from 'https://rawgithub.com/dmauro/Keypress/master/keypress.js' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.

EDIT: It's because Keypress is using rawgit.com instead of cdn.rawgit.com to host the actual keypress.js script.

Details here - http://rawgit.com/dmauro/Keypress/master/keypress.js

Working script source - http://cdn.rawgit.com/dmauro/Keypress/master/keypress.js

RawGit is refusing to send the page because you're not supposed to use it for production sites without using the cdn.rawgit.com link.

To be more precise: by looking at the response in Firebug's Net panel I see

<h1>Blacklisted for abuse</h1>

<p> This request has been blacklisted for sending too much traffic to <code>rawgit.com</code>. Please contact the owner of the site that sent you here and ask them to use <code>cdn.rawgit.com</code> instead, which has no traffic limit. </p>

Nevertheless I wonder if this will work when Firefox's search as you type is enabled. I guess the browser should eat up all those events, but maybe I'm wrong. Can't check it because of the blacklisted script and no time to write my own test now.

Seems like they also deliver this with an HTTP 200 status. So Firefox actually tries to parse the error page as JavaScript.
