SSH browser doesn't work in Compute Engine GCP
When i click the SSH button in the Complete Engine page, the shell window pops up and it shows that the ssh keys are being migrated. After that dialog disappears, nothing happens. I get a blank page without any prompt.

Which browser? Lately there have been reports of issues with Firefox and Edge. For GCP I would use Chrome.

To use the browser to SSH to a GCE instance, you need to be a compute instance admin. Also, if you run that instance with a Service Account, your account need to be a Service Account user. Check this link for more information: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/ssh-in-browser

In addition, did you check that your firewall allows connections to SSH port (22) from Google IP ranges ?
You can find them by using these commands (see https://support.google.com/a/answer/60764)
nslookup -q=TXT _netblocks.google.com 8.8.8.8
nslookup -q=TXT _netblocks2.google.com 8.8.8.8
nslookup -q=TXT _netblocks3.google.com 8.8.8.8

There are other advanced methods to connect to an instance.
I would also recommend to check if you have firewall rule for port 22 which is required for SSH. You can go to the VPC Network from Cloud Console and then Firewall Rules tab, check if you have firewall rule for port 22 and that rule applied to affected instance or not. If there no firewall rule for port 22, create firewall rule and apply to the affected instance.
You can also follow this SSH troubleshooting steps mentioned at this link.

I have the same problem and after recreating 4 instances and going thru every possible ssh key scenario I decided to try chrome and it worked fine whereas in firefox i get the blank black screen after the key handshake. I watched thru the serial port and the sys log showed all of the same entries for my broken web ssh session in firefox as it did for the working chrome web ssh session which means it has to be a problem with firefox.
