livequery fails to load in embedded Mozilla browser

I'm using the JWebBrowser embedded browser component (embedding Xulrunner 1-9.2) from the DJ Project. Somehow livequery is unable to load within this browser and my requests for long-lived selector matches therefore fail, although the same code runs on Chrome and Firefox.

I'm running JQuery, JQuery UI and the JQuery Media plugin all successfully within the XULRunner embedded window, giving me a rich browser experience which seems to be equivalent to a native browser environment, sadly with the exception of livequery.

As far as I know on Linux, this project uses XULRunner (i.e. Mozilla Gecko) for its browser component. For testing against this environment (if you have Java installed) there is a Java Webstart Demo which loads a JWebBrowser component at http://djproject.sourceforge.net/ns/index.html Note that Windows, Mac and Linux all load different web rendering engines, though.

Bizarre. Don't know if there's a workaround you might suggest from knowing how livequery loads. Is there a too-conservative user agent verification of some kind, which is failing to detect Firefox, even though it's basically the same thing? I'd expect the same code to work in XULRunner just the same, although it probably identifies itself differently.

On my machine, the code below differentiates between the runtime environments loading the same page. In XULRunner Livequery is alerted as missing whilst in Firefox it is present despite loading from an identical page.

if (jQuery.livequery){
    alert("Livequery is here");     
} 
else{
    alert("No livequery plugin bound");
}
