I see, but for other things you can move away from theme default icons. (back/forward buttons, dropmakers) But the download icon is condemned to this hybrid appearance.

But letting one to keep the browser default inactive download icon, instead of (whichever) theme download icon isn't at all inventing new things. Just a minor adjustment.
Just requires adding an option that lets this, or not even that. Keep the FF default (inactive) download icon when choosing one of the modern options. (and recolor it when it's active, or finished) What sense does it make to have the "main icons style" icon when the user already chose a modern download icon.
(BTW I plan to stay on v56 for the foreseeable future.)

I don't think this ever worked the way I'd like. In ff52 the FF3 icon also remains if I choose a modern icon. (If not it still changes to the browser built in variant of the download icon during and after downloads) The only difference is the different progress indicator.
