I've created a local file, linked to it, and it worked.
To be clear...
That local file you added was added (subscribed) solely to eMatrix, and its contents are stored in your browser profile, in
\ematrix-data\ematrix.sqlite

Just FYI,
uMatrix repo is now
archived.
This repository has been archived by the owner. It is now read-only.
Anyway, as it is, I've archived uMatrix's repo, I can't and won't be spending any more time on this project, and neither on all such
issues.
Whoever is free to fork under a new name -- I may re-open and resume development in some future if ever I feel for it.

Doesn't really affect ηMatrix and hasn't been for a long time.

Is it because Noscript is better known for the same purpose and continues to be available for Firefox?

I was running a few experiments and noticed that the setting used to spoof the referer can't be disabled.
If I tick it off and refresh the dashboard, the checkbox is ticked instead of being empty. The other settings seem to honor the on/off as expected.
Is anyone else experiencing this? It might be an actual bug.

Yes, confirmed.
With v4.3.2 and earlier this issue is not present.
After unticking the setting, the
My rules tab shows the corresponding rule as struck through:
referrer-spoof: * true
where it can be removed manually by clicking "Commit".
Edit: fixed goof.

I'm new on using mMatrix. Is there a possibility to make it working only for a particular domain? (facebook.com)

Ask the mMatrix developers, this is eMatrix.

Yes, open eMatrix panel and click on the star
* and allow all (make it all green), then go to facebook and block whatever you want.

Detailed guide from the original developer for:
- Local soft allow-all
- Local hard allow-all
- Global soft allow-all
- Global hard allow-all
My previous suggestion corresponds to
Global soft allow-all.
Just remember that all the changes-rules are temporary, so to save them you need to click on that
Lock icon.

I pushed an update because apparently some less used features were broken.
Shouldn't break anything else, but tell me if you see anything.

I am considering replacing µBlock Origin, which I use now for controlling third-party requests and JavaScript, with ηMatrix. The former however includes some indispensable auxiliary features: preventing prefetching, disabling fonts and images above a given file size specifically (as opposed to blocking 'other' content or all images outright) and suppressing CSP reports. Is it possible to retain these features within ηMatrix, without running µBlock Origin beside it? If so, how?

It is not possible. ηMatrix operates at the request level for each involved domain, so if you need to operate on actual content you need something else.
You can prevent prefetching (done by the website, as I'm not aware of any UXP applications doing it) by blocking connections to 3rd party domains; not much can be done for things within the same domain unless you go out of your way to block everything.
File size can't be known as ηMatrix works before the browser requests the server for the file, so it can't do anything about it.
Stuff like CSP probably fit in the same category as checking the file size.
You can use ηMatrix instead of uBlock (I don't have uBlock installed at all, for example), but you might want to keep it enabled for very specific content as opposed to requests. Basically have uBlock "accept" anything and block only the things passing through ηMatrix that you don't want.

The other thing is uBO can filter page content and remove the empty place holders for blocked ads, which nMatrix cannot.

Can vouch for that, UBO and nMatrix is a killer combination. Just set UBO to "off" for most websites/domains, and your CPU will be thankful.

Doesn't eMatrix also have setting to collapse empty elements like frames? Or do you mean something else?

Not just those, for example you get modal popups for newsletter subscriptions or 'install our app' (on mobile), which uBO can use rules for. And the element zapper to temporarily remove stuff from a page while you're looking at it (i.e. without making a rule for subsequent visits if you don't plan to return).

uBO doesn't affect the CPUs on most of my modern PCs unless you're using a very old PC with a weak CPU
