pdf page as giant dot

Opening a PDF in Firefox gets the second page to show as just a giant dot (first page is fine) with a different colored background. It works fine in chrome and, after testing, I was able to get it to show by disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox but I'm wondering if there's a way to fix this that won't require messing with internal browser settings. The PDF source itself shows both pages just fine.

Do you have adblockers installed or such as NoScripts?

I did but after turning it off it didn't seem to help. I don't believe the person who first brought it up has anything like that installed at all.
