getJSON not returning XMLHttpRequest in Firefox 3 or 3.5

I've noticed that getJSON doesn't seem to return the XMLHttpRequest object in Firefox 3 or 3.5. It does however work in IE.

When I walk through the code with the Firebug debugger however, it does return it. This is weird.

This probably doesn't affect most people as everyone's probably using the callback to process the data, but if I want to keep the data in the scope getJSON is called, eg. to do more getJSON requests on a REST API, I would have to skip using jQuery Ajax stuff.

I dunno if its Firefox or jQuery that's at fault here.

just in case someone wants to mention get() to me... I've also just figured out I should be using that instead of getJSON.

So priority is really trivial.

Seems like it returns xhr to me; please attach a test case.
