Try to only use one device for opening your facebook account ,if you open your account everywhere then it can be hacked easily because your Session is activated on that computer's IP address.
However,you can use any computer which you think is trusted and never save your password or login details on someone else's computer.

This is one of the biggest problem I've seen,most of new users who don't know how the web works,they click on spam links in facebook messages which are sent to them by some known users.
These links potentially have software and scripts,which immediately get access to your account and email.
So first carefully watch the links and only click links which are clear and visible.
5) Using Private Browsing Options
This is a little tip, if you activate private browsing in Mozilla
Firefox, it’ll protect you from harmful attacks. And you can do the
similar in Chrome by opening your Facebook account in a “new incognito
window” and nothing will be saved in the browser, I mean the browser
will not save your data, so you are safe and sound.

will lose the recovery option as where you will lose your permanent
recovery option to your FB account. So that’s why I am suggesting you
to have different strong passwords for all of your different accounts.
