Disable hardware acceleration for PDFs only?
I seem to have a problem with Firefox's builtin PDF viewer. Instead of black text on a white or gray background or something else sensible, I get black text floating over my desktop background in the part of the Firefox window that's showing a PDF. PDFs display fine in an external viewer, but that's just passing the buck, isn't it? Is there a way to fix this on Firefox?
I suspect hardware acceleration is the issue, but everything else seems fine, so I don't want to just blanket disable hardware acceleration. How can acceleration for PDFs alone be disabled?

Provide example pdf file(s) and post a screenshot of the issue if the data is not personal. Sounds more like an OS / Desktop / or good old nvidia(a guess)driver issue to me. Does it happen with your OS on a live usb stick? What OS? What Desktop? X11 or Wayland?
