Library/Downloads doesn't show URL of downloading file

Control-J opens Library/Downloads. It shows the Filename of the downloading file, but not the URL. Why doesn't it show the full URL? If I right-click, it can Copy Download Link, then I can paste somewhere to see it. But do I need a 3rd Party app or Extension to see the URL in Downloads?

Thanks for the help.

Bump.

I do not think so. If you open up about:downloads you can right click on the listed item and select "Copy Download Link".

Looks like about:downloads shows the same window as Library/Downloads

I want to see the full URL of a currently downloading file (to verify I wasn't spoofed, etc). AFTER download, it shows the top-level domain, but not DURING.
