Are you sure that you have lose all data?
What lightning release do you use? It is this
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/releases/1.0b1rc1/win32/en-US/ ?

Ok your problem is that you use an invalid version of lightining: only 1.0beta work with TB 3.x and at this moment the official release isn't here.
But you don't have lose any data: when you install right release your calendar will work fine.

My link above is the link of 1.0rc1 release.

I close this bug as Invalid.

Many thanks for your feedback Jim. ;-)
