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.
