event.originalTarget no longer is passed to an event handler listening element on firefox 3.5+

[jquery@…]

When listening to events, the originalTarget property is no longer passed.

Expected; 1) Using jQuery attach an onchange event to an input element and log e.originalTarget(example below) 2) Enter content into input element to fire the change event 3) The originalTarget is reported as the originalTarget

Actual; 1) Using jQuery attach an onchange event to an input element and log e.originalTarget(example below) 2) Enter content into input element to fire the change event 3) The originalTarget is reported as undefined

	$('input').change(function(e) {
		console.log('element', e.originalTarget);
	});

This worked in jQuery 1.4.2. It also affects other event handlers attached to any.

1. The version(s) of jQuery affected; 1.4.4
2. The browser (or browsers) that you are able to reproduce the bug in, including version numbers. FF 3.6.12 + 4.0b7
3. The operating system (or operating systems) you experienced the bug on. Mac OS 10.6, Snow Leopard

It was this commit for #2814:

That jQuery.event.fix method is a bottleneck for event delivery so we should keep it as short as possible and not include browser-specific properties.

You can still get to this Mozilla-specific property via event.originalEvent.originalTarget.

There wasn't a 1.4.5 release, was actually 1.5.
