Looks like the Daily Mail flubbed this one. The guy had a bunch of porn, but he died of a heart attack and appears to have fallen on top of the porn collection, according to the original article.

But the Daily Mail don't care about truth, they only care about eyes on [strike]text[/strike] ads, and by that metric they have succeeded very well. I'd guess the "flub" was deliberate.

Yeah, flubbed was a little generous. :rofl:

Here's a head scratcher.

Google can do all sorts of awesome stuff in search, but it doesn't know the difference between a tab and a bookmark. Apparently, it thinks tabs and bookmarks are the same thing, because when I enter into search,"Why doesn't Edge import my tabs from firefox?" I get a bunch of generic stuff about how to import bookmarks, which I've already done.

The second head scratcher is the search itself. Edge does all sorts of awesome stuff, but it doesn't import tabs. So, I guess I'll stay on POS Firefox, since I don't want to have to keep going back and forth deciding what to throw away and what to keep. (yes, I'm a hoarder, and no, I refuse to start from scratch)

So, yeah, Edge can do lots of cool stuff, but since I can't import tabs, I'm not going to use them. And I can't ask about it on Google because Google doesn't know what a tab is.

Fun times. It's only computer problems that make me want to peel my face off.

I'm guessing you tried the search Why doesn't Edge import my +tabs from firefox" a tab is the thing you read a webpage in a bookmark is a link to that page.

Thanks for that.

I don't do well with open-ended questions, I guess I should've stopped to think about how I could've solved the problem.
