Too much white that's made too many of the visual cues I'd use to navigate blend in with the rest of the page. In the past, I could immediately scroll to polyfills, browser compat charts, etc without having to pay attention while scrolling because those sections were so distinct. I've missed them three times already today and had to start over, scrolling slowly. For me, this update decreases usability.

If anyone from MDN is reading these replies, could you make the old stylesheets open so that we can use extensions like Stylus to put things back?

This one really hurts scanability, which was exceptionally good with the old design. I don't care what they do to the stuff around the content, but this redesign has made the content itself harder to use, which makes it a bad redesign, considering how content-focused the site is.
I don't understand how a company like Mozilla doesn't have the UX talent to call this out immediately when the redesign was proposed. This seems more like a change for the sake of change thing we see out of Google.
