Stop automatically adding FigmaAgent to Login Items

This is actual malware behaviour. I don’t care what the app needs to download. I want to be the one that controls when the app launches and when it updates.

Stop modifying my system without my permission, especially after I REMOVE IT from the list.

Yes, im getting this issue its extremely annoying

This very annoying for me too. Can an option be added for users to choose whether to enable?

Please stop this. I do not want your agent running as a login item.

The Figma agent is still appearing. Figma owners, are you not reading this and understanding your users?

+1 here.
Have to remove this app and use web version.
As long as user can’t control what app modifies in system preferences - it should be marked as malware.

Also, I like the fairytales about ‘fonts loading’ 🙂
Spoiler for Figma’s developers: you still can load all you need on app’s start with blocking UI.
Nobody needs some ‘fonts’ when app is not even running.

Hey All,

We updated the marked solution with the most up to date information from the team.

Again, for visibility:

If you don’t need FigmaAgent, you can force quit Activity Monitor, remove System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
Then, delete ~/Library/Application Support/Figma/FigmaAgent.app & /Applications/Figma.app/Contents/Library/FigmaAgent.app

If you’re still getting the FigmaAgent on restart then you might have corrupt .plist file.
To remove this, try running a Spotlight search and delete system preferences plist from User library > Preferences > com.apple.systempreferences.plist

The file path should look like this:
/Users/Username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist

You might also want to delete the login plist if you have it
/Users/Username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginitems.plist

Alternatively, you can click on Go in your systems toolbar >Go to folder > and type in the path name (keep in mind Username should be replaced with your own).

Then restart your computer. These files will come back as new (without any corruption) and you should be able to completely remove the FigmaAgent service from login items without any issues.

Still an issue. Still super annoying. Please fix.

Still an issue. Still super annoying. Please fix.

(and no we do NOT want to make annoying steps to delete files or whatever, just give us an opt-out option)

This is just infuriating. If I remove the login item (which apple allows you to do in user preferences), Figma should honor that request, even on subsequent updates. It’s not that hard or complicated. Doing this wouldn’t change the default behavior at all for users who want the login item, and it would drastically improve the experience for users who don’t.
