+# Firefox development environment
+
+**Disclaimer:** This setup currently also requies nix-ld (https://github.com/Mic92/nix-ld) to run binaries provided by mozilla.
+
+This [envrc](https://direnv.net/) will setup a virtualenv for the buildsystem:
+
+```
+use nix
+layout python
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$NIX_LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+```
+
+To clone the repository:
+
+```
+$ curl https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/default/python/mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py -O
+$ python3 bootstrap.py
+```
+
+To build & run firefox
+
+```
+./mach configure
+./mach build
+./mach run
+```
