This bug has appeared again: Figma keep open new tab in browser - #18 by Melissa_Ridgley
Losing my whole mind. Please fix this irritating issue. Can’t open anything in the desktop app without it triggering a million new chrome tabs.
Solved
Figma desktop app keeps launching chrome tabs
Best answer by Dan15
Figured it out.
It’s a bug:
- if you have multiple accounts (I do, I am a freelancer with multiple clients: lots of designers (ie your key users) do),
- and one of the accounts have been signed out for whatever reason
- but the figma desktop app still has one of the files for that signed out account open,
= then no matter from which account you use to open a prototype, it will launch the thing in browser.
Signed back into that account, issue resolved.
