Using XPath selectors with JQuery in Firebug

I'm trying to use XPath selectors with JQuery, but when I drop down to firebug (for example, in the linked page), I get syntax errors for the simplest XPath expressions:

>>> jQuery('//div')
"Syntax error, unrecognized expression: //div"

Am I doing something wrong, or are xpath selectors no longer supported?

xpath support was dropped in jquery 1.2. You can use xpath plugin if you really need it.

XPath is not supported anymore. xpath functions not supported in jquery also talks about this.

To get all divs, use this:

>>> $('div')

or

>>> jQuery('div')

depending on your setup.
