toJSON or not toJSON? FF vs Chrome

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In Firefox $.jStore.get() always returns a javascript object.
In Chrome it returns a string until the page is refreshed at which point it 
then returns a javascript object.

When I grab a session from my webservice I do this:

// store_session function which
$.jStore.set("current_session", $.toJSON(current_session));

and immediately I do this:
// restore_session function which also updates 
// gui elements after login and on each page reload
current_session = $.jStore.get("current_session");

 Proposed solution:
 try {
    // Chrome... oh Chrome...
    current_session = $.evalJSON(current_session);
  } catch(err) {
    // Firefox :D
 }

The new 2.0 release should be calling out to the browser's JSON object (which, 
if it's not 
defined, will also include json2 parser to add the functionality) for all 
storage by default 
now, so this issue should be resolved.
