Explain what you mean by Facebook wants in?  Are you getting a pop up from Facebook? Or something else is happening.  Do you have block pop-ups set in your browser settings?
Please provide more details.

When I receive an email with an attachment that I want to open I move my curser over to the address and at once an "F" appears over the address and if I click onto it I then go thru facebook.  I do not want the "F" to appear and I certainly do not want to ever go thru facebook.  How do I stop this?

pop up block is on

Does this happen no matter what the source of the attachment is?  What kind of item are you talking about--documents, photos?  Can you still open the item in the usual fashion?  It sounds like something in the attachment itself has a link to Facebook.  I just sent myself a document from my computer to my Comcast email address, and I can't duplicate what you are describing.  I get no "F" or anything---and I actually have a Fb account.

I would ask Facebook about this.  it sounds to me as though the email isbeing sent from Facebook.  But since I don't use it, I can't help further with it.

When I went to click on to your address, the "F" appeared over your address and if I would have clicked on the "F" i would have gone thru facebook not on the comcast reply to message

You might check your addons in your browser setting to see if you have somehow installed  this popup alert to facebook. You might also check facebook help/forums to see if they can adivse you how to get rid of this.

Go to the add & remove programs feature for your version of windows.  Look for any entry with a name for facebook or facebook browser plug-in and select uninstall/remove to permanently remove.  You can also do as Double G suggests and disable if showing as an add-on.
