How to know if a toolbar (like Google's) is tracking you when it's disabled

A recent tip suggested that even when disabled the Google Toolbar sends data to Google without the user knowing. After doing some digging I've found this is only the case if, while using IE8 the user fails to restart the browser after disabling the toolbar from the "Manage Add-ons" window.

Google Toolbar 2 for Firefox released

The new version picks up on some of the features that have been in the latest version for IE for some time, but as they state on the Official Google Blog, Firefox and IE users have different needs, so there are some differences between the two toolbars. Luckily, it appears that everything I was hoping for is there, ...
