First of all you will need to get VSCode and mozilla repo. Besides that you have the `./mach bootstrap` environment that downloads everything that you need like Python, Node, LLVM and the rest of packages that we need to build Firefox. Once the bootstrap environment is setup is very easy to have VSCode configured, just use:
`./mach ide vscode` The solution will be generated under `.vscode` directory and a temporary compilation database will be created in the obj directory. The IDE will be automatically open and you will be prompted with a list of extension that are going to be installed, this list is situated in `.vscode/extensions.json`. This should be it, after the last step you should have a fully working IDE, no matter the platform, Win64, MaxOS64 or Linux64.
