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.

The screenshot is with this PDF: https://www.sgsw.ch/home/strom/_jcr_content/Par/sgsw_accordion_list_1838160259/AccordionListPar/sgsw_accordion_12353/AccordionPar/sgsw_downloadlist/DownloadListPar/sgsw_download_1049323524.ocFile/2023-08-31%20Mitteilung%20Elcom%20Erh%C3%B6hung%20Elektrizit%C3%A4tspreise%20f%C3%BCr%20das%20Jahr%202024.pdf

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

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.

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

Here are the drivers I see for Linux from nvidia for your card. I think their site has the listing backwards, but you can see which is the latest driver.
