Someone has been using browser sniffing incorrectly. For the record my UserAgent is:

I do have NoScript, so I turned it off, but it still happened, so that's not the problem.

Not the author, just curious/interested. And I agree with your last two sentences..
jQuery.support is deprecated, use Modernizr instead.
Modernizr might be interesting, but jQuery.support is not depreciated. Perhaps you are thinking of jQuery.browser which is.
Deprecated is the correct word.
My apologies, will get the browser sniffing code fix right away!
It does not work as of right now.
