For a better answer you´d need to specify which reader you use. I think it may install during the Foxit installation rather than as a separate etension.

Another way:
In File types tab, just delete the PDF extension, the below picture shown means IDM will capture the PDF files, to read it in Browser, just delete PDF and click OK. You may have to restart Firefox
