"On December 8, 2005, we published a story that wondered: Firefox 1.5: Not Ready For Prime Time? In response, some 450 (and climbing) InternetWeek, InformationWeek, TechWeb Pipelines, and Scot's Newsletter readers have sent details about their experiences with Firefox 1.5. A picture is emerging about Firefox 1.5 in the real world - on a small percentage of Windows, Mac, and Linux computers - that is less than positive."

I've noticed a few of the problems, killing an errant instance of FireFox before I could load a new instance.
I've never had issues with PDF, but occasionally FF chews on a site and locks up for a few seconds, sometimes for a few minutes. But never permanently. And always in a random manner.
But memory usage is not something I worry about. It's high, but nothing like what the screenshot showed.
There is nothing in 1.5 which makes an upgrade worthwhile. If you don't have major issues with 1.0.7 then stick to it. I cannot see any speed difference, or less memory usage or anything important.
