Bug Description
I have a footprint which includes
F.Mask
B.Cu
F.Mask hides B.Cu.
To see B.Cu, I have to un-check the F.Mask checkbox.
( However, in PcbNew, I merely press <PgDn> )

@Michael, this is not a duplicate of that bug.
The hotkey is working as expected; it is changing the active layer, but you can only see that when you start drawing something. What is broken is that the layer change is not actually updating the display to show the layer has been changed. The footprint editor will need its equivalent of the PCB_EDIT_ FRAME:: SetActiveLayer function, and to override the SwitchLayer function in the base frame to use it and perform the needed checks.
