Oh, it does. It tries to set a cookie, but fails since you disabled it, 
than tries to read it, fails, and redirects you back on the "Enter the 
Newsgroups" page... (at least thats what I think it does)

This is not a problem with Mozilla, but with cookies.

To the creators of the web-interface: Why is this config-page necessary 
anyway?
IMO it should just display the newsgroups with the default settings if it 
doesn't find a cookie and have just an OPTIONAL link somewhere to the 
config-page.
