I can't seem to get PDF Files to open on some websites.

For example I use Google Drive for Documents and to print them you need to use a PDF, I try to open the PDF but it just makes me download it. Is their anyway for this to get working?

You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.

You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.
