So I think the only way to get data loss is if a user hand-edits prefs.js and introduces a syntax error, whereupon all subsequent prefs in the file will be lost. (Which has always been true; the only thing that's changed is what constitutes a syntax error.) Error recovery would eliminate that data loss possibility.
