When I selected "Show browser window instance" I am not seeing any browser window on Linux 18.04 Whether I select the above check box or not, it is getting stuck at the same place as explained below. It is getting stuck showing message "running: going to URL" with a green dot.

Which browser are you viewing the flow through? Keep in mind that the browser you are viewing Node-RED is different from the browser being launching in the Linux's desktop manager instance (which your linux instance must have -unless you use xvfb).

Are you on the node-red server itself? Does it have a window manager installed or is it a headless server? Which operating system?
