By sniffing Firefox I think what happens is that the toolbar does a
HTTP GET to

http://toolbarqueries.google.com/search?features=Rank:WH&sourceid=navclient-ff&client=navclient-auto-ff&googleip=O;null;53&iqrn=j5PB&ch=8602a88bb&q=info:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.filevision.net%2F

where the URL at the end (in this case filevision.net) is the URL to
add to History.

Unfortunately when I try just navigating to a URL like this I get a
403 Forbidden error.

Maybe it's something to do with the googleip, iqrn and ch parameters,
since I have no idea what they do.
