##### [Description:]
Given bug 1731110 and additionally the proposed bug 1738372 will reduce the download panel interaction even further. 
For the current behavior with already existing download undergoing and excluding the case in which additional confirmations arise (e.g. ask to save), it seems to me like we are in need to underline the action feedback component of adding a new download to the existing ongoing downloads: the download progress icon refresh doesn't seem to be enough.

#####[Environment:]
Windows 10
Mac 11.0.4

##### [Steps:]
1. Open a Nightly 96 - lets assume new profile for simplicity
2. Click on [download_ubuntu](https://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04.3/ubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso?_ga=2.134452793.971942211.1636632807-1621502746.1636632807)
3. Click again on [download_ubuntu](https://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04.3/ubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso?_ga=2.134452793.971942211.1636632807-1621502746.1636632807)

##### [Actual Result:]
Currently, the first download will show the download panel and while in progress, the subsequent only feedback that a download has started is the download icon animation, which is in a sense easy to miss when you are triggering the download from inpage and it gets difficult to acknowledge when your focus is not 100% there to catch the animation.
It has happened to me at least a few times where I would open the download panel to check if the right download has actually started.

##### [Expected Result:]
I'm uncertain what would be the best approach to improve this.

Off the top of my head(not really happy with the ideas), I'm thinking:
    1. having an incremental indicator in case of multiple downloads would solve the issue, if I get 3 downloads ongoing then the download progress should show something like 2, then the next download start would increment that to 3, which would revert to the no activity download icon when all is finished.
     2.  have an additional animation (originating from the download point?) that indicates a new download has been started/added
