It would be perfect if Figma, when used in the browser, had an option to keep a design open in the browser—even when the desktop app is installed. The Figma app is great, and everyone who uses it (myself included) likes it, but sometimes users would prefer to use it 100% via the browser. Unfortunately, Figma doesn’t have a native setting to choose whether files/designs open in the browser or the app—they always redirect to the app.

You can change that behavior going to: Menu → Preferences → Uncheck "Open links in desktop app".

That way, when opening files via browser, it will stay there and not redirect to the app.
