Site not detecting Figma
Carnageous opened this issue · 7 comments
I used the app and have Figma v 97.7 installed, but the site did not detect it.
I opened figma and did a re-login and tested again with the app open, but still without success.
Tested on Windows 10
Can you please check if your browser can open figma:// links?
You may invoke document.location.replace or just create an HTML link and click on it.
Yes, this works. For example, I created figma://test and this opnened figma. I can also verify this by using figmas "login via browser" option: This also creates a figma link and opens it.
Got it, thanks. What browsers did you try?
When I reported this, only Chrome 92 (Chrome Dev version if that makes a difference)
Tried it right now with Firefox and MS Edge and it worked in both cases.
I also just noticed the same thing for Postman -> Works in Firefox and Edge, not in chrome.
The accuracy can be low because of:
- Custom browser settings or flags - The demo was designed for the default setup, but that doesn’t mean your custom setup is not vulnerable.
- Poorly performant hardware (including virtual machines) - Some timings are just hardcoded and were tested on the MacBook hardware.
- Fullscreen mode - The demo will work faster and more accurate if the browser is not in a fullscreen mode
- Slow internet connection
- Gestures during the process
I also made a special branch for Chromium (Chrome, Brave, Edge, etc.) that works much slower, but should be more accurate.

It still may not work for your browser with a custom configuration. Like downloading PDFs instead of opening it.
Thank you for the explaination! That branch detected both Postman and Figma successfully for me.
