Microphone access on a mac randomly enabled

macOS will randomly indicate that Firefox has activated the microphone even when there are no websites open which should require this access. (Screenshot attached.)

I do use Google Meet frequently, which is allowed to access my webcam and mic. When this issue occurs, my workaround has been to start and end a meeting to shut off the mic access. But this issue does not only occur after a Google Meet session.

I have not been able to find any other users experiencing this issue in forums.
