Chosen solution

Please uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 57.0.4 with a Full Version Installer

If you have the PDF option it will say "print to PDF" if you don't see that then either you don't have that option installed or something went wrong with your install. PDF is a Adobe IP extension.

I have print to PDF printer drivers. But since the update to V57, they will not work. When I choose Print to PDF, I end up with a blank page.

My PDF drivers work with all programs and browsers, including IE, and Edge. Firefox is the only program it will not.

Thank you for this solution. I was getting very frustrated. I've used one version or another of Mozilla's browser since it was created. I've never had a problem like this. Again, thank you.
