Lost my reminders in Reminderfox - how can I restore them? Tried using the reminderfox.ics but don't know how to use them. Thanks
I found the reminderfox.ics files, but I don't know what to do with them. Thank you for your help.

As per their FAQ: 'I’ve lost my reminders! Can I retrieve a backup?'
Reminderfox stores all reminder/todo’s data and backups in one directory. With a typical installation that directory is part of the users “profile” directory.
Examples See also in Options. Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{someRandomNumber}.default\reminderfox\ Windows7: c:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{someRandomNumber}.default\reminderfox\ Linux: /home/{username}/.thunderbird/{someRandomNumber}.DefaultUser/
The reminders and todos’s are typically stored to that directory with a file named “reminderfox.ics”. For that “reminderfox.ics” file automatic backups (snapshots for today and yesterday) are kept with a .bak1, .bak2, or .bak3 extension.
Example c:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{someRandomNumber}.default\reminderfox\reminders.ics.bak1
Find an old / previous used “reminderfox.ics” file
Sometimes it’s necessary to find a previous used reminderfox.ics file — like in situations when a new profile for Firefox/Thunderbird has been defined, or where the Firefox/Thunderbird profile is defect or lost — then it can help to search the disc for Reminderfox files like reminderfox.ics or just with *.ics or some of the backup files like *.bak1.
To use a reminderfox.ics file found in an old profile, first check the file size and the date stamp. If a “good” version is found, copy that reminderfox.ics to your desktop (also for backup purpose) and then import it using the Reminderfox Options tab:File.
