I'm running Selenium 3.12 via Eclipse on MAC High Sierra v.10.13.5. My application under test is Ads that play in canvas. The test is required clicking on canvas so I'm using offset x, y coordinate. However, due to a resent changes to gecko driver the pointer origin is no longer computed based on the top and left position of the referenced element, but on the in-view center point. But these changes not supported yet by all clients/browser like selenium or Chrome. I found that you guys came with the temp workaround i.e. (moz:useNonSpecCompliantPointerOrigin, true) till these changes are supported across all Clients/Browsers. I'm trying to setup this capability on my local test environment and getting NPE error.

Here is my script and error capture:
