I can't use Adobe Reader to view my PDF files anymore!
e.g. Any of the PDFs listed here get "hijacked" by Google Docs http://www.adobe.com/manufacturing/3dpdfsamples/3dsolutions/
i.e. any URL that ends with a .pdf gets redirected to Google's website, and Google Docs tries to open it, and it is incapable of properly rendering it.
I can't even save the pdf file to the sdcard to manually open it...
Previously, I recall the browser gave me a choice of installed PDF apps I could use to view it.
Anyone know what I need to change to stop Google Docs from opening my PDFs?
Using Dolphin browser under Android 2.3.4
Edit:
Now I can't visit the website www.speedtest.net
My browser gets hijacked, and I get sent to the speedtest.net app in the Google Play store!
Even Microsoft wouldn't stoop this low.

Go to System settings, apps and press "Clear defaults" for the app in question.
Might help.
"Clear Defaults" button for both Dolphin and Docs is greyed-out.
I've tried clearing cache, cookies, history, etc.
Can anyone with the Google Docs app installed continue to open .pdf files with other apps like Adobe Reader, Office Suite, or Quick Office anymore?

Only by two PDF programs, adobe and ez pdf reader.

uninstall adobe reader reboot and reinstall it. Should reset to where it asks you what to use to open it.
Try a different rom for your phone.
Thanks guys.
There was a Dolphin browser add-on that was redirecting everything to Google Docs. Uninstalled.
Back to normal now.
Also, setting Dolphin to emulate Android causes www.speedtest.net to redirect to the app in the Google Play Store. Emulate "Desktop" to go to the actual website.

If I type a search word in the url bar of the stock browser, it won't load. Instead it'll take me to Google.com. I had to download the chrome browser which is annoying.
I did delete the Google search apk via titanium backup, not sure if that's what caused it.
Anyways, does anyone have the stock ics browser and the Google search apk? Google search isn't in the marketplace for me.

Is it just me or is there an issue when copying something from Chrome and trying to paste it within Chrome or Google apps? Also why can't I select a phone number from Chrome and have it come up in the phone dialer? Don't really have these issues with Dolphin Browser.

Running Nougat beta on Sprint.
Whenever I open a weblink within an app (such as reddit, Google Search/Now, Gmail) the link opens within the app, but as soon as it's done loading my phone switches to Chrome -- but does NOT open the link in Chrome.
To see the page I have to switch back to the original app.
This is driving me nuts.
Is there a fix for this? I tried clearing Chrome defaults, disabling/re-enabling Chrome, uninstalling Chrome updates. No dice.
I'm using Lightning Browser from F-Droid as my default browser and any time I try and download a file, whether from a webpage or even Google Drive app, I get a Download Failed message.
I have cleared data storage from the Download manager app, factory reset the phone, removed and reinstalled Lightning Browser...but nothing seems to help.
If I login to my Google Drive from within Chrome app, or from webpages within Chrome app, then those files download okay.
Anyone else had this happen to them and any suggestions to get downloads working from other sources besides Chrome app?
Thanks.

Check the app settings, and see if it has all the rights to store a file.
