I think Safari has the same keyboard shortcut as Firefox "command+F" on a Mac or "Ctrl+F" on Windows.
Look in the lower left corner for the Find. There are more likely to be differences in Find Next and Find Previous in the keyboard shortcuts, but continuing at the Find bar at the bottom doesn't matter what browser you use. There is an "X" there to dismiss the Find bar. In Windows the "Esc" key will dismiss the bar if you are within the find text entry area.
Keyboard shortcuts:
- Keyboard shortcuts | How to | Firefox Help, from Mozilla very limited number of shortcuts but will show correctly for your system
- Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table), more comprehensive but is oriented to Windows users with some guidelines for Mac and Linux users.
