[Bug 23860] Remove getElementById() from Element

> @mozillians: Is there any way to gather info on jQuery version use in Firefox?

We can try, but the version is often in neither the url nor the actual
script...

Also worth asking the Blink folks if they can do this.

That's the problem.  The symptom is that some queries will just return the
wrong nodeset.  What happens after that depends on what the site is doing.  And
no breakage today is no guarantee of anything tomorrow.  :(

> Can the change be made temporarily? In a Nightly?

We could try; we'd have to disable our jQuery regression tests or something,
since those also break with the change (which is how the problem was
discovered).  That has its own problems, obviously.
