SSH browser doesn't work in Compute Engine GCP

Question

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.

If you're using Firefox (same as me). This seems to be the problem as chrome works fine. Apparently Firefox has a bug. Idk if it's an actual bug or it's done on purpose because sometimes (less times) this works on Firefox and then sometimes doesn't unless I keep and keep reopening an closing the SSH.

Instead of opening and closing every time hoping for a chance to work and or using chrome, If you have linux or in my case I have Windows subsystem for Linux on my windows computer, so I can just SSH to it.

For windows, you could use the subsystem, or use Putty (Here's a putty tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmh94mNQHQc on how to connect to GCC) That putty tutorial is also similar to how you can do it on the subsystem so you can still watch it for that too
