I had the same issue and the solution described here worked for me.

Copying and pasting it here with the version OP asked:

1. Start ‘Activity Monitor’ and Force Kill your dead soapUI process. [Or use Command-Option-Escape to force quit it.]
2. In Finder, /Applications/SoapUI-5.3.0.app > Show Package Contents.
3. Edit /Applications/SoapUI-5.3.0.app/Contents/java/app/bin/soapui.sh.
4. Uncomment this line # JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsoapui.browser.disabled=true". [In other words, remove the # to stop it being a comment.]
5. Edit /Applications/SoapUI-5.3.0.app/Contents/vmoptions.txt.
6. Add -Dsoapui.browser.disabled=true.
7. Start soapUI.

The question there was for version 5.1.2 which is more than 2 years old. I'm surprised for this still being an issue after that long.
