This is a fairly new feature, I would wait a while for bugs surrounding this feature to be fixed.

I found out that you can fix it by inspecting the page (On a laptop/computer) and removing three random invisible things that covered the entire screen
(then you can press the button)
(then you can press the button)

How to work around a frozen project caused by the Set Thumbnail button's new feature popup.
fakeyou need to click the left arrow key.IntroductionI can't click the button, it doesn't work
Recently, there has been a new feature introduced in Scratch, the “Set Thumbnail” button, but; it seems to be causing a bug where projects can't receive mouse input. The bug seems to be caused by the “Hi! Try out our new feature.” popup.
However, it can be easily worked around.
How to work around the bug?
On one of your projects, press the button and click the X on the info popup. It won't save the thumbnail if you close the popup.
Once that's done, the bug will go away.
What to try if it doesn't work?
If you have a keyboard, try pressing the left arrow key. If that works, then follow the steps above to prevent the bug from occuring again.

I feel like they should just remove the popup anyway (or at least, the “Hi! Try out our new feature” thing) because the feature has already been out for a while
