title: jQuery Ajax Request - Response Text empty in Firefox
body: <p>I'm new to jQuery so hopefully this isn't too dumb of a question.  I'm creating a ajax request and it successfully completes but when I try and display the responseText it works in IE but is blank in Firefox.  I can't figure out why this would be.  I've removed the url but that is valid.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.ajax({
                  type: 'POST',
                  url: 'https://*********.com/***/***',
                  data: miSoap,
                  async: false,
                  cache: false,
                  timeout: 30000,
                  beforeSend: function(xhr) {
                      xhr.setRequestHeader('SOAPAction', '"'+soapAction+'"');
                  },
                  success:function(result, textStatus, xmlhttprequest){
                      alert(xmlhttprequest.responseText);
                      output = xmlhttprequest.responseText;
                  },
                  dataType: "xml",
                  contentType: "text/xml; charset=\"utf-8\""
              })
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I just put in an function to catch if there was an error and it hit in firefox.  This is the response that I got.  Still don't understand.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error: [Exception...
