I think "Favorites" should be one of the links in top user menu:
Stack Exchange v ... ... ... username & reputation | favorites | log out | parent | about | faq
If user stared question as "Favorite", he did not done that beacose of other users (others to see that question in his profile). He favorited interesting question, so maybe "Favorite" list should be "one click closer", in top horizontal menu, for example.
