I used to be able to click on a .pdf link and the .pdf file would open in Foxit Reader and be saved to my download folder.

Now, I think since refreshing Firefox, clicking a .pdf link opens the .pdf in the Firefox browser.

How can I get .pdf links to open the .pdf in Foxit Reader, and not open in the Firefox browser??

Hello ririri, you have to set it correct in the application panel. See how to do that easily in Changing download actions article.
