[Malini Das [:mdas] - Away, not checking bugmail]

This is because $ is a non-standard member of the window object, so you'll have to access it using:

window.wrappedJSObject.$

It's described here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Marionette/Marionette#execute_script()

And there's a bug about removing the need for wrappedJSObject here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=825961
