I am using android studio 2.2.3 in Ubuntu 16.04. When I click on Sign in to my Google account from Android studio, It says "Please Sign in via the opened browser". When I navigate to browser there no tab opened for signing into google account.

Make sure that you don't open android studio as a root user. Also if you are cloning a git project do not clone via root user.
My problem is solved after I changed the default browser to Firefox. Previously default browser was Google chrome. It's weird tho. :)
For changing default Browser
System Settings > System > Details > Default Applications
For users who have Android Studio 3.1
Go to File-> Settings-> Tools-> Web Browsers
Here you can find the Default Browser where System defaultis default selected when installing Android Studio 3.1.
In my case I solved the problem by changing System default to First listed.
As ubuntu no longer supports Google Chrome you can uncheck the chrome so that android studio will automatically select Firefox or the browser listed below it.
