How much space do I need - and how would I know? Is there a program for 
cleaning out unneeded files?  I know for Windows there are many given 
the propensity of that systems to fill up drives. I did not know that 
was a Linux issue.

Yes I always close all running programs before shutting down.

But any program should fail gracefully. If the power goes out and I have 
no back up does that mean I will lose my profile again? This does seem 
to be an issue with Mozilla as it has affected Thunderbird mail in both 
operating systems
