The second article mentions "browser beacons" and a special piece of 
software "Ghostery" to detect them.

Try and google "detect browser beacons" ha. It gives lots of links to 
software to detect some sort of navigation beacons.

But I googled Ghostery and I found out that it is a Firefox plugin.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9609/

Also - for those who have not really looked through all the firefox menu 
items I discovered a toggle under tools for "start/stop private 
browsing" which turns off history.
