I don't think we do.

Anaconda, for example, phones home even before you select the 
installation media.

Perhaps more significantly, at least in my tests, the Firefox URL 
classifier reports some kind of data about matches (which reflect user 
browsing behavior) to Google, along with long-term Google tracking 
cookies.  This is not readily apparent from the browser source code, and 
the data exchanged with Google has been obfuscated to make independent 
review difficult.
