Messenger - JavaScript error in the main process
I have installed the Messenger for Desktop app on my 16.04. Everytime I launch the application I get this javascript error seing on screenshot below
However when I click OK the the app launches properly. I haven't detected any issues so far, however I was wondering if anyone else has faced the same issue and how to solve it.
Edit I have noticed that I don't get a notification or any indication when some of my contacts texts me when the app is minimized. I'm not sure if this is a bug occured from this issue or whether is missing from the linux version in general (which probablly is still a bug)

Lykos, try to switch off the option "Check for Update Automatically" from the menu "App", I suppose this could suppress the error message.

Temporal workaround that I found is to switch off the option "Check for Update Automatically" from the menu "App". This will suppress the message "JavaScript error in the main process". In result the overall behaviour of the application will be improved.
Further when I check for updates manually, "Checking for Update..." process never finish (as you can see on the image above) or finish with the following error message.
Apparently there is a problem with their update server.

Yes, this error is very annoying. I did the following:
I downloaded the package
messengerfordesktop-2.0.9-linux64.tar.gz
and unpacked it into a separate folder, which I put in the TEMP. Then I created a launch shortcut on the desktop. Everything does work fine and without the boring window, as it always worked.

If you click OK and app won't start, go to app directory (you can find it out by typing which messengerfordesktop) and try run the app as root. App will start, then uncheck "Check for Update Automatically" as pa4080 proposed. It solved the problem on my Kubuntu 18.04.
