Details

enablePrivilege has been removed: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Bypassing_Security_Restrictions_and_Signing_Code

But there are many other hits for enablePrivilege on MDN:
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=enablePrivilege
* https://www.google.com/search?q=enableprivilege%20site:developer.mozilla.org%20-revision%20-revisions

For code snippets that are intended to run as part of an add-on, the call to enablePrivilege can just be removed.
Oh, MDN search *is* Google search.  In that case:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=enablePrivilege+inurl%3Aen-US+-revision+-revisions

(working around bug 790027)
You can remove the references to 'enablePrivilege' by clicking the "Edit" button at the top-right of the page. ;)
