Figma Linux Opener

Seamlessly opens Figma links in figma-linux app with customizable tab auto-close delay.

Figma Linux Opener is a lightweight and privacy-focused browser extension designed for Linux users who rely on the native 'figma-linux' desktop application. When working on Linux, opening Figma links from your browser often forces you to stay in the web view or leaves orphaned browser tabs behind after launching the desktop app. Figma Linux Opener solves this instantly with a single click. ✨ Key Features: - 🚀 One-Click Launch: Automatically converts standard web URLs (files, design files, and prototypes) into the desktop protocol (figma://) to open them directly in your figma-linux application. - ⏱️ Customizable Auto-Close: Automatically closes the originating browser tab after launching the app. You can freely set your preferred delay (in milliseconds) via the popup menu. - 🛡️ Safe Link Detection: Smart URL matching ensures that only valid design files are redirected, preventing annoying 404 errors on search or dashboard pages. - 🔒 100% Private & Open: Runs completely locally on your browser. Zero tracking, zero data collection, and no external background servers. ⚙️ Prerequisites: Make sure you have 'figma-linux' installed on your system. Most package managers handle protocol registration automatically. If the app doesn't open, ensure your system registers the scheme handler (check that your `.desktop` entry contains `MimeType=x-scheme-handler/figma;` or configure it via `xdg-mime`). How to Use: 1. Navigate to any Figma design file or prototype in your browser. 2. Click the Figma Linux Opener extension icon in your toolbar. 3. Your file will seamlessly open in figma-linux, and the browser tab will close automatically based on your custom delay setting. Created with ❤️ for the Linux & Design Community by Sorin Istudor.
