Some Google sites: Endless loop of redirecting then error?

FireFox 3.6.3

Hi. When navigating in some Google sites like blogspot.com and groups.google, the page results in an error like, "Service Unavailable" because it gets caught in an loop of redirecting. The tab reads, "Redirecting" and the progress bar shows redirecting over and over. So far I notice this only with some Google sites, but not all of them.

I switch to IE and it doesn't have that issue. I don't allow cookies (except for exceptions, which are set to allow for these domains), and never 3rd party. Even with accept all cookies on, it doesn't help.

FYI, a few months ago I installed a FF addon for controlling redirecting. It allowed me to enable or disable redirects in general. I didn't like it and disabled it. It was after that I noticed the first of these issues. I uninstalled it but still have the issue. Can this be the cause? I don't remember the name of the addon.

Never mind. I found blogspot needed another cookie. Now it works.
