uploading and downloading indicator missing?

My previous version of Firefox showed a directional spinning arrow in a circular motion for uploading and downloading content on the tab. The new version shows only a dot swinging back and forth. I need the spinning arrow because it indicated when content was being uploaded versus being downloaded. The swinging dot back and forth indicates nothing in the direction of data flow.

How can I get the old indicator back?

thank you

I'm not sure whether this code will include the upload state.
