settings are usually stroed in your
~/.mozilla/<profile name>/<random string>/prefs.js

So the best would be doing a diff between the one you have backedup and the 
one you have on your harddrive

diff -Nur /mnt/cdrom/mozillabackup/prefs.js ~/.mozilla/<profile>/<string>/prefs.js

Look for the rows starting with a '-', as it's those settings you have 
changed, turn off mozilla, add the lines (last) in your current prefs.js and 
start mozilla and you should have the settings right again (other option is to 
type about:config in the url-bar and modify the settings).
