When a fox's ears move forward, just like when dogs move their ears forward, they're attempting to focus all of their ears to one spot. This helps them hear faint sounds, which for foxes mostly helps in hunting the small, skittish animals that make up their diet.

Ears of the fox point forward because they can pick up more sound with the sound waves coming directly into their ear lobes. The bigger the ears, the more sound the animal will pick up.
Congratulations, you answered your own question. That is exactly what ears are for.
