Hi, the figma cursor used to be small and neat. In the past few days it has suddenly grown much bigger and it glitches in the middle of work switching back to the original smaller size, and growing again when moved or used for an action. Any idea why this is happening?

Hey everyone, thanks so much for flagging this!
We’ve seen several reports of this happening in Firefox, and the team has now rolled out a fix. Refreshing your tab should apply it, and your cursor + mouse interactions should return to normal.
If you’re still seeing this after a refresh or if you’re running into it on a different browser, let me know your browser and version and I’ll take a closer look with you.
Same thing im my browser. Did you find a way to fix that?
Hi
This primarily occurs when you’re running other software in the background while trying to use Figma.
Are either of you running any other software when this occurs? If so, can you close all other software running in the background and let us know if that helps?
If not, please let us know, so we can continue to troubleshoot together.
Chiming in with my inputs 👋
The pointer looks huge when it’s in the canvas, but the size is normal when hovering on the left and right side bar, where the system pointer is shown instead of the custom one that Figma shows in canvas.
In the canvas ->
What I’ve also noticed is that in the same machine, the cursor looks normally sized when opening Figma in Chrome i.e. browser.
I have the issue in several different browsers on android tablet.

Double-checked for any new or updated software, nothing has changed since the day before yesterday, when the cursor has been normal size.
Same here. There has been no change w.r.t system or Figma, but still the cursor looks humongous.
I have the same problem, I tried opening Figma in different browsers, but the problem remains. I really want the problem fixed. It is very inconvenient to work with such a cursor(

Thanks! Can confirm it’s fixed now
Hello,
J’ai le problème du curseur trop grand, je suis sous linux avec Firefox.
As of now, I have the same problem with Firefox on Linux. Didn’t have that until last week !
Hey both, thanks for calling this out!
Could you share which Firefox version you’re using, along with your Linux OS version? That’ll help us report this properly to the team and investigate what might have changed.
In the meantime, as a workaround, you could try using Chrome or Edge, or switch to the Figma Desktop app while this gets looked into.
Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
Firefox 149.0.2 (64 bits).
Thanks you.

Yep, exactly the same config :
Firefox 149.0.2 -64 bits) on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS.
I’ll use Chrome instead for a while. Thank you fo investigating !
