I try opening pdf files with the firefox pdf reader plugin but that doesn't work. The only way I can view pdfs is to either save the link and open it manually or use internet explorer to view the pdf.

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.
