I’m running into an issue where I cannot open one of our Figma files. When attempting to open it, I receive the following errors:

• “Connection error: -106”
• “An error occurred while opening the editor”

This is happening in both:

  • Chrome (browser version)

  • The Mac desktop app

I’ve already tried:

  • Restarting my computer

  • Restarting my router

  • Opening in an incognito window

  • Testing a different browser

  • Fully quitting and reopening the desktop app

The issue persists across both the browser and desktop app, which makes me unsure whether this is a network issue or something file-specific.

Edit: this was resolved after I restarted my computer again. Assuming it was a glitch in my internet connection.
