F3 - In mac that's never used. But there is the CMD+? For searching menu pages. Not even sure what you're referring to with "find" though.

F5 - CMD+R is standard in MAC. I haven't used F5 in years, and I just tried it (didn't work).

F6 - Like TAB?

F9 - Well there is something like this on F3 but I never used it. I can do this with hot corners in mac, way easier.

F10 - Same like above

F11 - Same like above

F12 - Not sure, never used dashboard in osx.

This being said, I am sad for the removal because I use the top row a lot for volume/playback/brightness/esc.

Press F3 in Firefox, it brings up the Find interface.(Search in page.)

F5 does not work in Chrome or Safari, but works in nearly everything else I use.

F6 - It is a tabbing functionality for application input boxes, but related Firefox and other applications with similar design.

I actually have the top left corner set to do Expose all windows as well.
