With recent update I've lost access to my top sites--how get it back?
There used to be a blue symbol at the top of the page (to me it looked like an anvil), click on it and my top sites appeared.
Now, no anvil; nothing I can identify as an access to my top sites.
Top sites are all I have to find things; bookmarks don't work---I click on add a bookmark and when I try to go to it I'm told I don't have any bookmarks.

Was it the Most Visited folder on your Bookmarks Toolbar (see attached)?
One possibility is that your Bookmarks Toolbar is not displaying, or that your items from the bar have moved somewhere else, or that the blue search folder somehow got deleted.
Let's start by making sure the bar is displayed. You can turn it on and off here:
Alt+v (opens classic View menu) > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar
If it isn't on the bar, let's check whether it was moved. Use Ctrl+Shift+b (or Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) to open the Bookmarks Organizer (AKA the Library dialog).
Can you find the Most Visited folder anywhere under All Bookmarks? If so, you could drag it to the Bookmarks Toolbar.
If it's already listed as being on the Bookmarks Toolbar, hmmm, your toolbar items might have been moved to another bar. Let's see whether we can find them.
Alt+v (opens classic View menu) > Toolbars > Customize
Scan your toolbars and the dialog of available items for "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" and, if you see it somewhere other than the Bookmarks Toolbar, drag it back to where it normally lives.
Any luck yet?
