Remember all the fuss about Zoom running a secret web server on your computer? Looks like Figma does it too for the same reason: to open links without repeated confirmation. help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039956894

Every time you open the Figma app, FigmaAgent is started again and added to Login Items. If you don’t need Figma to show fonts on your computer and opening links manually is fine, then removing FigmaAgent is an option.
This seems to work for removing FigmaAgent:
- Force Quit it in Activity Monitor
- Remove it in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
- Delete ~/Library/Application Support/Figma/FigmaAgent.app
- Delete /Applications/Figma.app/Contents/Library/FigmaAgent.app
Figma is a great design tool, and the good news is that at least for me it seems to operate fine without its agent.
