I know that Mozilla claimed that has removed DigiNotar Certificates from its trusted certificates and suggested a manual way to remove them. However these certificates seem to be still ther and cannot be deleted although I have the latest update of Firefox 8.0a2 installed. Here is their name in my Firefox >DigiNator 

    DigiNotar Root CA
    DigiNotar Services 1024 CA
    DigiNotar Cyber CA

>DigiNotar B.V. 

    DigiNotar PKIoverheid CA Overheid en ...
    DigiNotar PKIoverheid CA Organisatie ...

How can I know if they are disabled if they cannot be removed because of being built-in?

You can click the Edit button on these certificates to verify that all trust bits are unchecked.
That will make it impossible for them to be used as root certificates.
