Older Firefox like 3.6 show transferring information in status bar like:
retrieving data from www.example.com or 255.255.255.255... which is helpful in many ways.(private secure issue, website building, etc.)...or just want to know what the hell firefox is connecting to.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
restore the old way as least if you guys can't figure out a better one
There's a spinning icon in each tab.

Can you tell firefox connecting to www.google-analytics.com or download a image from photobucket.com when you browsing a forum? No! And that is exactly why I ask that function back.
Bug 603777 is the current proposed solution to this problem, but it's not blocking Firefox 4.
