I had this problem on my '99 TJ two or three years ago and it only happened on
extremely humid days. There was no freon leak on mine, just water -- about an
inch or so -- and my wife was getting tired of trying to find a dry place to
put her feet. The work-around fix 'til I got it to the dealer was to pull the
passenger-side floorpan drain plug.

The dealer said it was a known problem and that the drain tube on the
evaporator was too short, allowing condensate to trickle through a seam or
grommet as it dripped down the firewall. He also said that it was sporadic;
i.e., it would leak on some jeeps but not on others. Bad design from the
git-go. The fix was to braze an extension tube onto the drain that led the
condensate to the bottom of the tub. I think they charged me around $35.
Haven't had it happen again since.
