Did you use a browser running under Linux when you went to: https://www.foxitsoftware.com/products/pdf-reader/
and then clicked the Download button? I think it checks what operating system you are running under and chooses the appropriate install file, because when I hit "download" it did not ask which platform.

But FF sometimes will pass the link off to it, but mostly won't. And this has been going on for the past few releases of FF. AND, then there are the Adobe built pdf files that the viewers all complain about, for having forms that they can't process. Primary complaints with Taxing agency fill in the blank forms. Tried to download Foxit. Kept trying to send me .exe files. Waiting on them to respond to an email.
