The add-on won't work on 57 and above because there's no API to manipulate page permissions or the pref for local XUL access via file:///.
There are some workarounds you can do, like set the permissions in a pre-57 version of Firefox, using the add-on, and then copy the permissions.sqlite file in the profile folder to whichever profiles you want to modify (this could cause some inconveniences if your users set other kinds of permissions, but that should be rare). Another workaround is to just edit permissions.sqlite directly, with an SQLite editor. You just need to made sure Firefox isn't running while the file is being modified.
