I have set a .htacces file with admin tools. It works great, but somewhere there is a rule too strict, because it won't allow to load some image files in the root.

I have a number of favicon images in my template folder. That works for most browsers, but Firefox needs to have the favicon images in the root of the website. Normally no problem, but my htaccess file is restricting to load them. It results in a 403 error, as you can see on the screenshot. Also, when I enter the full url for the image in the browser, the same error appears.

Do you know how to allow those specifc files?

You can enter these files in the “Allow direct access to these files” setting, see https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/admin-tools/server-protection.html

You need to add the following lines:

favicon-32x32.png
favicon-16x16.png
favicon.ico
apple-touch-icon.png

Then click on Save & Create .htaccess
