Downloader Icon not showing in menu bar?

I have noticed after updating Firefox 12.0 the Downloadhelper's 4.9.9 icon is not showing on the top left such as around menu bar.

However, after doing some settings it appeared in the status bar which is painful. I wonder how could I show animated moving icon in the Menu bar or anywhere but on top left side?

PS* I had taken some screen shots but could not attach here.
