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

Why not just... get a headset with a mute button? Laptop and phone mics sound like shit to those of us with good audio. There are great inexpensive headphones with awesome mics that will make you sound as if you're standing right next to them. And they have a physical mute button, to boot. It's far less obvious (and cheaper) if you get a wired pair or a boom mic, because you just click the physical mute button hanging on a little control pad off the wire below, instead of tapping your ear every time.
