Is the developer plugin mode not available in Figma through browser?

I run some quick plugins on my local usually and at times when I see the figma links in gmail, it usually opens in my browser. 

 

And I remember loading my plugins using the manifest.json and running it in browser.

 

But for some reason recently that option seems to be missing. Is there any change on that?

 

From app

 

 

From Browser

    Hi ​@Bala_Sivagnanam, thanks for reaching out! 

    Yes - you are correct. The developer plugin mode is not available in the browser.

    You won’t see the Plugins > Development options when using Figma in the browser. They will only appear when using the desktop app.
