Hi there,

The irony of this is not lost on me, as I introduced a large number of my friends and colleagues to the Joy of using Firefox (then Firebird).

Can you please first, explain what does the whole sentence mean and then explain the underlined words.

Thanks In Advance ..

"I understand the irony of the situation, because I was actually the person who introduced a large number of my friends...."

It "is not lost on me" = the meaning/significance doesn't escape me, i.e. I understand/appreciate it.

"as" = here I think it means "because"/"since".
