Photo App and pictures folder

Why is it when I am on FB or other sites on my MacBook Pro and I have to access a photo, it wants to access it from the pictures folder instead of Photos. I have photos in the pictures folder, but they are there for a particular reason, and not general photo library. Can I change that in Photo Preferences?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

In the browser window go down the sidebar to the Media section. Click on it and then on the Photos library in the right window.



The Photos library must be set to be the System Photos Library.
