Why won't Firefox open Foxit Reader in its own window?

When browsing with Frefox, I used to be able to click on a PDF link and have Foxit Reader open the file in a separate (Foxit) window. Now no matter what I do, the PDF opens within Firefox in what I suppose is a Firefox PDF reader.

How canI make this work the way it used to?
