Palo Alto, Calif. – Facebook, the Internet social-networking site, said Thursday that it bought Parakey, a startup run by two engineers who helped build Firefox’s Web browser.
It represents the first acquisition in Facebook’s three-year history. Terms weren’t disclosed.
Parakey’s Blake Ross and Joe Hewitt will both go to work for Facebook, which is trying to turn its site into a melting pot of software applications and features contributed by software developers.
