pdf files used to open automatically in foxit, but now forces download first. Is this a Firefox, Foxit, or Win 10 problem?
When i download a pdf document from a website there used to be an option to open (in Foxit) or download. I suspect that the Win10 May '19 update may have changed this, because all pdf files have to be downloaded. Is this something to do with Firefox, Foxit or Windows? I have looked at the article on the built-in Firefox pdf reader, but cab find nothing on my screen to operate this?

Hi John, this article describes where you can select "Preview in Firefox" for the built-in reader, or select an application to handle PDFs: View PDF files in Firefox or choose another viewer.
Were you able to change from Save File to Use Foxit?
Note that some servers do not properly identify PDF files as the "application/pdf" type, so Firefox makes you decide what to do with them every time. More comments on that if needed.

Did you check on the settings for Foxit as a preference in the O/S setting to read and open pdf files? Foxit isn't a firefox software.

Yes, Foxit is set as my default pdf reader. I shall contact them to follow up. However, i cannot find the built-in Firefox pdf reader. Can you point me in the right direction to access it? Thanks
Also make sure there isn't a update to FoxIt as well that could also be part of it.
