Firefox (mac only) not liking my xmlObject. Trying to ajax to a servlet

[huggy77]

this code works fine on every other browser that i have (and i test across alot of them) except for the mac version of firefox.

	function getXMLObject(){
		var xmlHttp = false;
		try {
			xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")  // For Old Microsoft Browsers
		} 
		catch (e) {
			try {
				xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")  // For Microsoft IE 6.0+
			}
			catch (e2) {
				xmlHttp = false   // No Browser accepts the XMLHTTP Object then false
			}
		}		
		if (!xmlHttp && typeof XMLHttpRequest != 'undefined') {
			xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();        //For Mozilla, Opera Browsers
		}
		return xmlHttp;  // Mandatory Statement returning the ajax object created
	}

I think the offending code is:
xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")

its odd that it this works on safari (mac) chrome(mac) but not firefox... I am used to firefox being worry free...

Are there any errors in the Error Console?
