    I would try quitting your browser and closing down Facebook rather than restarting the whole system.

     

    My guess would be that, if you have been using Facebook and have already accessed the Photos library, then a snapshot of the library directory (and therefore, pictures) has been taken by Facebook. That may not be updated if you then switch to Photos and import something new, or make changes there, and then switch back to Facebook.

     

    Restarting Safari, or whatever browser you use, and then re-visiting Facebook may, when you try to add the new picture, refresh the directory and make the change(s) visible.

     

    This would be my guess, and suggestion.
