Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

There are two kinds of permissions at play: the Android's microphone permission for Firefox, and Firefox's microphone permission for sites.
Firefox needs permission from Android in order to access the microphone. Then, sites need permission from Firefox to access the microphone. You can set Firefox to block access, allow access or ask for access. The latter is the default option, so every time a site tries to access
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia()ornavigator.getUserMedia(), Firefox will show a popup asking whether to allow or block such access.Hmmm, no pop up, but I hear what you're saying... What should i do?
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.
OK, so it was blocked, I set it to ask every time, but it didn't change the stupid icon.
