Green dot beside firefox icon in dock

Notice the dot next to the Firefox icon in the dock. Running Firefox 100.0.1 on MBP, OS 11.6.7. Found the only way to get rid of the green dot was to do a shut down and restart. Now as far as I can see no app has any rights to my camera or microphone.


Just wondered if anyone else is noticing this.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.6
