When I try manipulate elements placed in the <toolbarpalette id="BrowserToolbarPalette"> Browser Console returns error: TypeError: document.getElementById(...) is null Expected behavior: Code should return requested element ID.
This wasn't something that changed in Australis, and has always been the case. The palette is removed from the DOM and is accessible through gNavToolbox.palette, from which you can getElementsByAttribute, iterate over children, or querySelector to find the element you need.
