The settings are either explanatory or ducible by tweaking browser settings and diffing.

On average, the latter. I haven't actually tried those settings, and am merely guessing based on their strange names that they're the right ones.

The browser ui is controlled by that one file.
Bookmarks is not part of browser and mostly has its single data file (MyBookmarks.xml ? - which should be owned by user:users, not root:root - in case anyone else decides to be evil and use a package to attempt to do evil things to it).
There is a history file for browser (somewhere, strace would find it)

The engine (opera, gecko) of course has its own files, and these are documented by the respective engine providers.

For examples of evil things that you can do to the browser, there are some packages at:
http://timeless.justdave.net/maemo/
Specifically:
http://timeless.justdave.net/maemo/microb-pageupdown-0.1.deb
http://timeless.justdave.net/maemo/microb-googlesearch-0.1.deb

These were generally built by blackbox engineering and google searches and not based on any internal knowledge of any Nokia (or debian packaging!) code.

Note that of course any debs I may provide are unsupported, subject to breaking randomly and well open source, so read before using :). specifically the sources to the debs are available as directories that are siblings of the .debs themselves, although you might want to use dpkg-deb to extract the deb to make sure that the version of the deb has the same scripts as the sources, sometimes the debs may be out of date if I'm hacking them.
