Pear OS


I have a mac os cube that came with no drives or mother boards inside. I would like to set it up to look like a mac.
Mother board is a DN2800MT, very low profile fits in nice.
Have Pear OS 8 64bit running on it. Someone I think said it was based on Ubuntu 13.04?
I had firefox 25 with it. I went to firefox and it gave me Firefox quantum 62.0.3 64 bit and put it in the download section. If I go there and click on firefox it comes up and runs OK? On the bottom center bar the firefox is still 25 not the new one? Firefox 62 has wrong icon. How do I get rid of 25 with correct icon and put in 62 and correct its icon?

I am on that system now.

You're right:-
Pear OS is based on Debian and Ubuntu:-

https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=pear

Generally whatever version of FF you have installed the icon should reflect that version.

What does the terminal return when you run this?

Code:
firefox --version

This motherboard HAD windows 7 running no problem. Now when I try linux all but pear turn the screen off and just sit there? Could be something in the bios? The board fits so well in the MAC cube. I would like a linux that looks like a mac screen that runs.

Update, This is a mac like screen with red, yellow, and green buttons top left, if I dont turn off, RED, but just set firefox screen down, yellow, then I can get back the newer firefox with icon on the bottom center for firefox but if I turn off, red, firefox now icon goes back to older firefox?

If that's what the terminal is returning than you don't have FF 62 installed.

I suggest you download FF 62 and install it:-

Maybe give Elementary OS Juno a try:-

Glad to hear that Elementary OS works for you.

What's running slow exactly?

I've thrown in the towel a few times myself.

Do you think you will keep Elementary OS?

That's good news. Thanks for the update:-

If all is running well and you don't have any more questions you can mark your thread SOLVED.
