FileSystem is still not supported in Firefox 50

dkozlovskyi

Mozilla announced that fileSystem support is added into Firefox 50. ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_and_Directory_Entries_API/Introduction ).

After several attempts at least to initialize it on Firefox stable 50.0.2, FirefoxDev 52.0a2 (2016-12-08) and FirefoxNightly 53.0a1 (2016-12-08) I was not able to get it working.

Am I missing something? Is there are any options to read/write files into/from File Storage? Should I enable for this some kind of `experimental` flags?

Thanks, Dmytro Kozlovskyi
