I let my MBP do a software update which included Safari 5.

Afterwards, Flash player has been pants, and I can't use Google Groups
at all. Yeah! I know, some if not all of you would say "Don't use
Google Groups", but there are several locations I go to, where a news
reader cannot be used, so rather than chop and change, I have just
stuck with Google.

I can get to the "My Groups" page, bu when I click on one of my
selected groups to read, Safari gets stuck in a redirection loop.
There are what looks like three URLs appearing insequence, and it
never stops.

So...

I downloaded Safari 4.0.5, discarded Safari 5 into the trash, emptied
the trash and install 4.0.5 using Pacifist.

This has not cured the problem though. Flash is working better, or
should I say at well as it ever has, but Google Groups still doesn't
work.

Anyone know of this problem and of a fix?

Which version of Flash Player were you using with Safari 5.0, the latest
is 10.1.53.64

I had a similar experience, but first with Firefox. Using a stored UCSM
bookmark, clicking it gave the same reload/reload/reload/etc behavior. I
/think/ something similar happened when I tried with Safari too (but not
exactly sure). In the end I just navigated to UCSM through the "front door"
and re-saved the bookmark (although it was decidedly different from the one I
had stored previously for some reason).

That's the version installed even now. Still with Safari 4.0.5, I
haven't let it go back up to Safari 5 yet.

I managed it somehow, but I've no idea why it seems to have worked.

I navigated to my Google account preferences, and when to the page to
manage group subscriptions. This page has a set of links to go to the
group message listings, and these work. From there the "My Groups"
links work. If I navigate to the "My Groups" page via the "More >
Groups" drop down on the Google.co.uk home page, then it doesn't work.
