Hi Figma team & community,

Unfortunately, since last week I’m facing an issue with my Figma plugins. When I open a new design file > Actions in the bottom bar > Plugins > click on any plugin nothing is happening. There is no error message and the DevConsole also shows nothing. It is the same behavior for Desktop app and browser. I tried everything I can think of: restart, loggout and Figma reset, reinstalled desktop app, deleted browser cache, deleted %AppData%\Figma.

I need my plugins urgently for a customer presentation this Friday, so any help or guidance is highly appreciated. 

Thanks for your support.

Best,

Dominik

    Hey ​@Dominik Emmert, thanks for reaching out! 

    I recommend checking:

    • An alternate browser or incognito just in case there's a extension or cached error blocking access. Our supported browsers are Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge.
    • Using Figma with another internet connection (Wi-Fi, Mobile hotspot)

     

    All of our plugins are created by Community members and not Figma, you'll need to reach out to the plugin's creator for help using that plugin, or to report any problems. 

    You can find the support email for each plugin on that plugin's homepage. The plugin's creator will then report any bugs in Figma to us.

     

    Also, could you share a screen recording on what you’re seeing on your end? Feel free to share with a loom link. Thank you for your help!

    Several plugins have stopped working and are showing the same behavior across both the desktop app and the web app, which suggests the issue is not device-specific. This kind of problem is often related to recent updates, backend service changes, or account-level configuration issues rather than a local installation error. When plugins fail consistently on multiple platforms, it usually points to compatibility problems, permission conflicts, or temporary outages affecting plugin services. Checking plugin updates, reviewing recent system or browser changes, and verifying account settings can help identify the root cause and restore normal functionality.
