Reminderfox did not sync and then disappeared

I set up Sync to transfer all my FireFox data to my new computer and it set up Reminderfox on my new computer but without any data. I guess I then hit Sync on the new computer and it seems to have removed Reminderfox completely on the original computer so now I have lost all my data. Any suggestions on retrieving it or has it gone forever?

Sync doesn't synchronize all Firefox data. The Add-ons Sync radio-box is for synchronizing addons themselves, not necessarily synchronizing the data from each particular addon. It won't sync data created by and stored by an add-on, when that data is in its' own data file system outside of the prefs.js file. It is possible for data from an add-on to be included in the Sync process, but that feature has to be coded in each particular add-on.

I see no information about how to have ReminderFox make use of the Firefox Sync feature. It doesn't look like ReminderFox has been made compatible with Firefox Sync.

It is quite possible that the Firefox Sync service won't handle the .ics file type used by the ReminderFox, so the developer would need to make major changes to that addon to accommodate the Firefox Sync service.

Thanks, I would have thought that syncing the ReminderFox data would be one of the most useful purposes of Sync.
