I am looking for a firefox extension that will allow me to toggle microphone access, preferrably per tab, for example disabling it while I’m not speaking in a zoom meeting to reduce tracking.

Edit: clarification due to misunderstanding: i want something that lets me toggle actually giving a site mic input without removing permissions

    Isn’t this default Firefox behaviour?

    Whenever a site wants access to the microphone I get a prompt from Firefox asking for its permission to grant it to the site/tab. Then when I close the tab, the permission goes away.

    There is an option to remember my preference in the popup but there’s no chance in hell I check it.

      I guess the person is asking for a mute switch. Once the microphone access is granted, the person can’t mute/unmute unless the website provides such an option.

      I mean something that lets me toggle actual mic input to sites once they have access, because if you turn it off you need to refresh to turn it back on.
