My Figma automatically updated to the latest version, but it now says that it is incompatible with my Mac OS version and cannot run. Is there a location I can find the download link for an older version of the desktop app for Mac? Versions prior to 116.17.9 ran correctly. Thanks!

Solution works with 10.13.6 High Sierra. ✅

The question now is: how to prevent it to autoupdate without my consent, and shut down any future update requests altogether.

There are definitely ways but Figma would probably boot me off the app if I told you

Using Lulu or some other firewall app, just block the following:
