Is there a Firefox extension that allows me to toggle microphone access so that I'm only sending mic audio when I want to? (lemm.ee)

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

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.

Isn't there usually a yellow pop-up on the top of the screen showing microphone and webcam controls if they are active? I think that's how you control it. Now this isn't per-tab control, but it's better than no control at all I guess
