Why are my favorites not being saved?
I am having a lot of crashes and whenever I re-start FCP 6.02 after a crash, my favorites are gone. My sequence comes back the way I had last saved it, but no favorites…the favorites bin is empty. Do these not get saved when I do a save all? Do I have to save them some other way?
This is making me nuts. -

Your favorites get saved in your preference file. When you trash your preference file or in this case Final Cut seems to be deleting it – your favorites get tossed.
One really handy tip is that you can save your favorite effects and transitions in the project itself (just drag them into a bin in your browser). That way if you have another crash or have to reset your preferences, your favorite effects and transitions will still be in their proper place inside your project.
Give it a shot. Peace.
