Description of my issue:

Hi

I have completed the restoration and the site works fine in IE frontend and backend but I cannot access the backend in firefox.

I get the following error:

Not Acceptable

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /administrator/ could not be found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Please help.

With Thanks

Please contact your host. The "Not Acceptable" (HTTP 406 error code) comes from your server's mod_security Apache module. There is nothing I can do to help you debug it and, even if I could, there is nothing you can do to change its configuration. You'll have to talk to your host about it.

My educated guess is that you have a Firefox extension which sends something extra to the server, causing this error. Or, maybe, you just need to clear Firefox' cookies in case something invalid is stuck in its cookie cache.
