Can't open browser links in mac app

Not sure where with this, but I’m not able to open figma links in the desktop app anymore, nor I see the “open in desktop app” in Safari, nor Brave nor Chrome.

Tried everything suggested in past threads here, cleaning cache reinstalling; all the forum posts are closed saying it’s been fixed but I just can’t get it to work. :weary: can anyone help me? It’s driving me insane for maybe a month

Having this same problem. Instructions found on the Figma site don’t work –– the “Open in App” option is not there under Preferences.

Adding clarification:
This help instructions cannot be executed on my Mac Destop app https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039824334-Open-links-in-the-desktop-app
The OS versions is 13.1 Ventura, although I had seen this on a prior version.
Personal browsers tested, Safari, & Brave.
No prompt ever occurs asking ’ Do you want to open this file in the Figma app?'.
No option ‘Open in Desktop App’ is displayed in browser

No ‘Open links in desktop app’ setting is displayed in browser or app

Note that you have a “Get desktop app” item. This means that Figma does not see that you have an application installed. Try reinstalling the desktop app.

After debugging with the help of the Figma support, uninstalling, re-installing & rebooting. Which fixed Safari & Chrome.
I found the Brave browser shield setting ‘Block trackers & ads’ blocks something being used to offer the ‘Open in desktop app’ option.
