I use both Mac (as a choice) and Windows (at work) and use FF as a
preference, but also IE, as needed - there is never any problem
accessing Google Groups with no login - and particularly not in this
case (and, no, I am not already logged in). Have you perhaps set up
some of your browsers to use "New Google Groups" (or whatever it is they
are called)?
