I have been using Tbird after upgrading from XP to 7 with few problems,
until I had a power outage a few days ago. That one took me a couple
days to figure out and restore all my newsgroups and email, but seems to
be working great again. It turned out to be a mutilated prefs.js file
that caused it to lose all the connections to all my setting and
email/newsgroup data.

Get a cheap UPS unit and avoid potential problems. I have them on the
cable boxes since they take forever to reboot after a few second outage.

Cable company owns the box so no cost to me if they get cooked but the
PITA is worth it.
