There is a visual indicator Firefox provides an Android notification that appears when the camera and/or the mic is in use.

  By visual indicator, I specifically mean a visual indicator that showed when your phone is locked, and the screen may be off (like an LED, as iOS is apparently enabling). To be clear, that's not only not an app's responsibility, and in fact it should not be something an app can change at all, so I don't really think Firefox should worry about changing how it indicates this. Because part of this has to do with security/privacy and at the device level, this is really something Android needs to tackle. None of the solutions I proposed are really appropriate for an application, since that would imply an application has control over them, and they are useful only if an application can't change them so you can have assurance they work as expected. This is less an issue of trusting Firefox, which I do (for the most part, but it does have a large security surface to be aware of since it runs remote code), and more an issue of trusting something like Zoom or Tik Tok, which I don't really.
