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

Probably not anything at a browser level. It sounds like you want to split your mic into multiple input channels and then selectively activate those channels. There may be audio software for that, but it's way outside my knowledge.
