7 months ago Old Reddit's manifest is also broken, as it specifies https://www.reddit.com/ as scope and start URL. Because of that, the extension can't use it, so the checkbox is not displayed.
However, it appears that the latest Reddit redesign (the one at https://www.reddit.com/) now has a valid manifest. They "fixed" it by removing all shortcuts and most icons (and it seems they really want users to use their mobile app), but at least you should be able to install it. So, if you don't mind using the new design, you can try that.
I will try to make opening links work with websites without manifest in the future, but I think it will require quite a lot of changes, and I also don't have time currently, so it may take a while.
Also, summary of manifests of various Reddit "versions" and their issues:
- Manifest for
old.reddit.com: https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/img/favicon/manifest.json (not working, because of invalid shortcuts, scope and start URL) - Manifest for
new.reddit.com(the old "new" version): https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/img/favicon/manifest.json?v=2 (seems to be the same file as above, also not working for the same reason) - Manifest for
www.reddit.com: (the latest version): https://www.redditstatic.com/shreddit/assets/favicon/manifest.json (working, but with all shortcuts removed)
Description
"Use the manifest for determining app properties" checkbox does not appear on the PWA installation page for Old Reddit so I cannot install a functioning version of it (the app installs but PWAsForFirefox does not recognise it as a valid app to open pass Old Reddit links to from my standard Firefox installation).
