hello, the pdf viewer is still somewhat experimental and under very active development - you could try if the same error is occurring in the current development version, which you can download as an addon from http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/extensions/firefox/pdf.js.xpi

in case it has the the same rendering problems, you could then file a bug report at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues (a github account is necessary for it though) - please also provide a sample document where the error is apparent!

If the built-in viewer can't handle a large number of the PDFs you view, you can disable it an use the Adobe Acrobat plugin instead. See: View PDF files using Firefox’s built-in viewer.
