That line is intentional. It's for cases where jQuery is being dynamically
loaded and you wish to execute the ready event immediately. **We make no
guarantees about this happening in all the browsers that we support.**
(Namely this is because of the problem that you mentioned in Firefox < 3.6.)
As of right now this is a forward-looking addition to the time in which
it'll work in all browsers - but it doesn't negatively affect the code
otherwise.
