Let me elaborate on Torstens comment.

The map $GL_n(B) \to i_*F$ in your example is an fppf $D^\times$-torsor over $i_*F$,
a fact which can be checked easily directly from the definition of torsor which you can find in
any of the referenced texts. A priori it is a torsor for the fppf topology, but it can be
shown that any $D^\times$-torsor for the fppf topology is also a torsor for the
Zariski-topology.

There are only a few groups with this property. They were studied by Serre and
Grothendieck [GS58] who classified all such groups over algebraically closed fields.
They called them "special groups" (probably because of the joy of saying things like:
"the general linear group is special" or better still: "the special orthogonal group is not special").
If I recall correctly, the complete list is $GL_n$, $SL_n$, $Sp_{2n}$, all connected
affine solvable groups and extensions thereof. Your group is defined over a more general base,
so the result doesn't apply directly.
However it can be proven with exactly the same methods as for instance $GL_n$.

This seems to be a folklore result, and I don't know of any reference for a proof (I'll return with a reference to an article where the result is mentioned), but the
idea is as follows. The key is to use flat descent for quasi-coherent sheaves.
The group $D^\times$ is the automorphism group for $D$ viewed as a module
over itself. Given any module $M$ which is locally isomorphic to $D$, i.e. a locally
free $D$-module of rank 1, you get a corresponding $D^\times$-torsor by taking the
sheaf of $D$-module isomorphisms $Isom(M, D)$. Note that this sheaf has a natural action
on the right by $Aut(D) \simeq D^\times$. This establishes a one-to-one
correspondance between isomorphism classes of $D$-modules and isomorphism classes
of torsors [Gir70 III 2.5]. Since any $D$-module, being quasi-coherent, allows a
Zariski-trivialisation, so does any $D^\times$-torsor.
