I like the overall look, but I have a few comments about certain aspects:

Having the search box at the bottom is too annoying. I don't want to have to scroll down to search. I also think there should be a search box somewhere on every page, as before the reskinning. AMO search doesn't suck now (hopefully) so we should make sure it's used instead Google on site:addons.mozilla.org which is how I currently find things.
Home is listed on both the top menu and the side menu. It seems a little strange and would be more appropriate to only be on the top menu.
The sidebar still doesn't show the active page with a gray background (li class="selected")
The discussion header/footer is noticeably different.
This may be a vanilla bug, not sure: "Comment by made 1 day ago days ago"
Discussions show a CakePHP favicon for me

Old URLs should redirect into the new format so we don't get 404s
If there are no addons in a category, an unfriendly/unstyled message is flashed, and the user is redirected to the front page.
- maybe these category links should not even be displayed if they don't carry any add-ons. --wenzel 20:59, 2 January 2007 (PST)
Pages should validate
~~the language list in the footer should select the language I'm currently browsing in, not always "English (US)" -- will fix. wenzel~~ -- is fixed. wenzel 09:59, 3 January 2007 (PST)
on the /addons/display page, the "bad trip" link does nothing
on /addons/display, there is no way to see a single review without clicking "see all reviews" -- will fix. wenzel
when adding a review, the "rating" can be any positive number -- will fix. wenzel
Discussions can be started that aren't related to an addon (just click "discussions" in the header, then start a new topic)
When a user creates an account, they only see a "created successfully" flash. When they try to login, it says they have to confirm their account first, but it never says how. -- will fix. wenzel
The "More..." link under "Popular Extensions" on the browse page goes nowhere.

Browse Add-ons page is kind of unfriendly and doesn't quite say what it is/does.
Browse Category page has a "more" link for new and updated add-ons which leads to the new add-ons RSS feed (atm it's even a 404); it should maybe lead to a new page showing the new add-ons for this category only.
Browse Add-ons page could use category specific RSS feeds.
Add-on lists (like search) don't say "version" before the number, while featured add-ons while browsing a single category do.
Search algorithm is improvable: The binary matching creates many hits with the same score in spite of their obviously different relevance.
Developer usernames link to different places atm (URLs or nonexistent pages); we need a user info page and have them link there.
The dates (version releases) on the recommended addons page and on the respective addon display page differ. Why?!
Since an alpha version still comes with a few 404 errors, if shouldn't be the default cake page
"find similar add-ons" sometimes shows different categories with the same name? (example)
