If you are using JSONP requests, you need to enable the active handling:

I think that the use of active is correct, but possibly the way you have used might return false in the instanceof conditions.

Optionally, see another way to wait for jQuery ajax calls using active in Selenium tests:

browser.wait_for_condition("selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().jQuery.active === 0;", '30000')
