PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) - Facebook Inc., the owner of the Internet's second most popular social networking site, said Thursday that it bought Parakey, a startup run by two of the engineers that helped build Firefox's popular Web browser.
It represents the first acquisition in Facebook's three-year history. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
Mountain View-based Parakey consists of just two people, Blake Ross and Joe Hewitt, who are best known for their contributions to the open-source initiative that created Firefox — the second most-used Web browser behind Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer.
