Firefox AJAX

I have some jQuery AJAX calls that work fine on Safari, Chrome, and Opera but doesn't seem to get through with Firefox. Has anyone run into this or is there some setting in Firefox that could be interfering?

function postRequest (req) {
    return $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: vibe + '/process_req',
        data: JSON.stringify(req),
        contentType: 'application/json',
        dataType: 'text'
    });
}

Is the URL the same host/port as the website itself (maybe localhost vs.
127.0.0.1)? Or maybe the Firefox error console can give a clue.

I can only say that the forums use $.post(), which according to the
docs calls $.ajax(), and there it works fine in Firefox.

The host/port match up. But i did notice that i get the same error on the other browsers when I tack on "charset=UTF-8" to content-type which Firefox does automatically:

return $.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: vibe + '/process_req',
  data: JSON.stringify(req),
  contentType: 'application/json; charset=UTF-8', // causes error
  //contentType: 'application/json',
  dataType: 'text'
});

Chrome produced the error below. Im still investigating, to see if i can get any more details/fix

Ah, I didn't fully realize that you send json, while I send a form...
The HTTP server erroneously checked for the content type to be exactly
"application/json", but the form detection was already correct and
separated the MIME type from charset etc.

A commit that supposedly fixes this has just been pushed to master (I
didn't actually test it yet).
