In order to help you we need to know these details you neglected to mention.
Windows 7 & All applications... facebook...anywhere!!
"Favorites" makes me think you're talking about Internet Explorer. Right?
Then see if http://www.mitchellenright.com/2010/12/28/internet-explorer-safe-mode/ helps. If you don't like the Run box, try method 3 from http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/run-internet-explorer-9-without-addons-in-safe-mode/

are Firefox and Chrome. You can download Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and Chrome from http://www.google.com/google.
I would also recommend you boot to Safe Mode and check for viruses. Note that some viruses can hide themselves from your antivirus program in normal mode, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode when you first power up, hit F8 about once a second until you get the menu and select Safe Mode. Then run a full system scan.
Good luck.
