If you are looking for text of a then use filter()

$("ul.nav-tabs a").filter(function() {
  if($(this).text().toLowerCase() == "profile")
       return $(this).parent();
}).addClass("active");

You should use filter() instead of :contains selector:

$("ul.nav-tabs a").filter(function() {
    return /profile/i.test($.text(this));
}).parent().addClass("active");
