I just want to know how a tag gets listed in favorites even when I don't do anything to make a tag to be my favorite?

1Do you mean it's actually shown in the favorites list, or just that it starts getting highlighted? It might be related to this– Michael MrozekCommented Jul 27, 2011 at 13:46

If you haven't added any favorite tags, the system infers some implicit favorite tags for you based on your activity.
See these questions for some details:

1Most annoying feature ever, but true. As far as marking that request
[status-completed], as-implemented I'm not sure if it's quite the same thing, but it's probably close enough that it would normally have been marked as such. Commented Jul 27, 2011 at 23:26
The tags that appear in your "Favorite Tags" list are added by you. It could be you added a tag in that list by mistake.
If you hover the mouse over a tag listed under a question, you will see a pop-up; if then you click on the star shown at the beginning, that tag is added to your favorite tags.

The last screenshot shows how I see the tags in the "Favorite Tags" list with Safari 5.1; the image has not been modified in any way. Commented Jul 27, 2011 at 17:20
It isn't added to your favourite list automatically, you have to put it manually.
If you have some favourite tags you did not add, it's probably bug.
