Hey all, probably better places to ask this but you all know everything. I got a oneplus 10 pro, and it has a very faint microphone icon in the top right. It’s not there all the time, but I’ve noticed it with firefox, and a few other apps.

I messed around with the mic permissions but nothing seemed to get rid of it.

What is it, and how do I make it not there?

      1. Open Firefox app
      2. Open the 3-dot menu (⋮) and choose Settings.
      3. Scroll and find and choose “Site settings”
      4. Choose “Microphone”.

      If you see the following screen, then Android is blocking Firefox access to microphone.

      However, if you see only the two options “Ask to allow” and “Block”, without any following complain from Firefox regarding Android, then Firefox already has microphone access from Android, and it’s (Firefox) ready to ask or block whenever a site tries to access microphone.
