Click 'Install Plug In.' A dialog box launches, which says, 'Launch Picasa and Import Buttons.' Click Yes.
Picasa launches, and a pop up window opens. You'll see, on the left hand column, 'available buttons,' including a Facebook button. Highlight it and click 'Add' on the middle column. Hit 'OK.' (See screenshot below)
Exit Picasa, and then reopen it. At the bottom of the screen, you will now see a 'Facebook' button.

To get your photos from Picasa into Facebook, you need to have Picasa open to the folder from which you wish to upload photos. Click on the photos to upload. (To upload more than one at a time, hold down the Control key as you click on them.) Once you select all your photos, click on the Facebook button. A pop up dialog asks you to log into Facebook.
