This issue has been going on for a while. The dot is added by Firefox under the extension to signal the user that the extension needs attention. The extension is working without any issues, and when checking the permission tab for this extension, all websites have been allowed.
The dot disappears after interacting with the extension, but loading a new tab will make it come back.
This is not the only extension that has this problem, something probably change with the way permissions are asked, or with the new manifest. This will also explain why loading a new tab triggers this bug.

I also found this bug report at Mozilla:
Manifest V3 extensions with low privilege activeTab shows annoying blue dot for all websites
There are some workarounds mentioned there, from asking for more permissions to using manifest v2. So keeping a v2 for Firefox and v3 for Chrome will probably be the best option until they come up with something better
