I'm using a jQuery method .getJSON to get an information in a json format.
Sometimes (not all the time) I get the errors like that:

Not well-formed
{"data":"value"}

This is a valid JSON object. Previous FF version 2.x didn't show this errors.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Can you provide a testcase that reproduces this bug? There isn't really much to go on here.

I've added three files. 
test.html
test.cgi
and jquery.js (just to make sure we use the same version in a testing)

Put all these files somewhere in a cgi-bin directory on your server and type in a browser:
http://server_ip/test.html


I've added a screen with Firebug errors I got.

Hope this helps. Thanks

With this testcase it seems to work fine for me, are you getting errors with this testcase as well?

Your testcase works fine for me.
I don't see any errors when I get data from the .txt file.
But errors appears if I trying to get a data from the cgi script as in my testcase.

I think the problem is in my http server. Looks like Firefox doesn't like the response from the server. This this bug can be closed. Thanks.
