PDF are often rendered unreadable, with desktop background showing through (screenshot attached)
I often run into issues with PDFs in Firefox Linux. They either appear totally blank (typically after suspend/restore), or they appear with the desktop background showing through (as in the attached screenshot).
Hard refreshing the page doesn't change anything, opening a new tab and opening the PDF again doesn't change anything, opening a new window and loading the PDF doesn't change anything.
It renders correctly in Chromium.
Firefox 126.0 using the recommended performance settings on Mint 21.3, nvidia quadro p620 using the official nvidia drivers v535.171.04-0ubuntu0.22.04.1

What happens files from this site? https://www.irs.gov/downloads/irs-pdf
What OS? What Desktop? X11 or Wayland?
FWIW, after rebooting it's fine but as soon as a suspend/wake cycle has occured PDFs become transparent without fail.

What happens in KDE?
Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
As a test, with a different drive, I would try a different OS(wink wink) or try something else on a live usb stick.
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240524 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 Kernel Version: 6.9.1-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5825U with Radeon Graphics Memory: 62.1 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics Manufacturer: HP Product Name: HP ProBook 455 15.6 inch G9 Notebook PC
I have tried with Tumbleweed on a live USB, the problem is that it uses the nouveau driver (I think) rather than the nVIDIA one and as a result I can't put the computer to sleep to see if it also breaks displaying PDFs (it crashes and I have to reset)

Roger that, sounds like you will need to install for a proper test. Did you see if KDE has the same issue? Did you try Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#search104
