## Description

This extension makes it easy to open Figma links directly in the desktop app. 

When clicking or pasting a Figma link, a new tab opens, and the Figma desktop app launches even if it isn’t active. Then, the extension closes the opened tab after 5 seconds.

How it works:
- Keep the "Open in desktop app" Figma feature activated (is active by default).
- Click on a Figma link or paste it in the search bar.
- Automatically opens Figma links in the desktop app.
- Closes tabs after a 5-second countdown for a tidy workspace.

Compatibility: Google Chrome, Firefox, Arc.

Perfect for designers seeking a smooth transition to Figma.
