There is a trick. You need to change the Preferences to allow it. It think this is the place for Foxit, but I can't remember if it was here or somewhere else. If this setting doesn't do it, then look at the rest of the Preferences ~
ps, @CedarTree, Foxit also needs to be the default for PDF files. When you right-click a PDF file, you can choose what to open it with. To change the default, pick "Choose another app"
then on the next dialog box, choose Foxit and be sure to check the box on the bottom to always use this app to open .pdf files
