Most likely it's possible to get back everything, but perhaps I didn't
notice all issues, perhaps I don't use some features.

    How do I get back speed dial entries, too?

settings.ini should also be backed up. Just overwrite everything from
[SpeedDial] from backed file (settings-backup.ini) to the new file
(settings.ini).

Thank you,

unfortunately the content of the mail I received is just:
"> How do I get back speed dial entries, too?

So I wasn't aware that I should just have copied

$ grep l] -A6 .config/qupzilla/profiles/default/settings.ini
[SpeedDial]
background=
backsize=auto
pages="url:\"http://www.dict.cc\"|title:\"dict.cc\";url:[snip]

instead I restored settings.ini

$ mv settings-backup.ini settings.ini
$ qupzilla

this brought back speed dial, but after that the menu bar was lost.

I couldn't notice any other issues.
