You should be able to press F4 in the modern browser and see your favorites.

If they are not showing up, there's a workaround that's been found to fix it until Microsoft releases an update for this issue:

1. Close all IE windows and tabs, both in modern IE and desktop IE
2. Run desktop IE as admin (press CTRL+SHIFT while clicking the IE icon on the taskbar to do this)
3. Close the "admin" desktop IE window

You should now be able to see your favorites in modern IE when typing in the address bar or after pressing F4.
