This issue seems to be a problem on the Slack side.

If anyone has this issue in future, what I found works is signing in in the browser first, then clicking the "Sign into another workspace" button again in the app and this time clicking the name of the workspace you want to sign into below the login box. It should start signing you in then pop up a dialogue asking if you want to open the link in Slack, to which you should say "yes".

I'm on Windows, and I also have this issue with Franz Version 5.5.0. I downloaded the version 5.4.0 and slack it's working perferctly!
