When I load a PDF hosted in a directory protected by NTLM authentication, PDF.js shows a blank screen. After a bit of investigation, it appears that Firefox receives a 401 response and, I am assuming this kind of authentication is not implemented in PDF.js. However, after refreshing the page by pressing Ctrl+R at least 3 to 4 times, the authentication dialog appears and, once filled with correct credentials, the PDF file is loaded and displayed. The issue is reproducible each time I restart the browser.
Can you try disabling range requests to see if it works (add #disableRange=true to the url)?
