http://leaguecraft.com says I have Ad-Block enabled even though I made it so it's not used on that site. I even inactivated and removed it and it still says I am using Ad-Block.

Contact the site in question for support. Adblock Plus has no effect on sites where it's disabled, or if it's disabled globally, or quite obviously if it isn't even installed at all.

Well. Just removing Ad-Block from the browser doesn't remove its folder itself. I even tried to delete the folder. won't work. so something is still lingering from the addon.
and I have also noticed other places where video streams don't appear where they are supposed to. Small errors here and there.

and I did mail them and posted a thread here too.

here is an example of what it does to a livestream channel on twitch:

the chat is supposed to be above the chat button all the way down.
and in the center white area is where the stream is supposed to be.

Adblock Plus is the file {d10d0bf8-f5b5-c8b4-a8b2-2b9879e08c5d}.xpi under your Firefox profile/extensions folder. Once you click the Remove button in the Add-ons Manager and close Firefox, it's deleted.

Uninstalling Adblock Plus doesn't remove your filters or settings. Neither has any effect on web pages without Adblock Plus. And again, Adblock Plus has no effect on web pages if it's either turned off, disabled or uninstalled.

If you're sure you won't reinstall Adblock Plus or you want to perform a clean reinstall, you can
  1. Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.
  2. Press the big button to bypass the warning.
  3. Paste extensions.adblockplus. in the search bar.
  4. In the search results, right-click each entry and choose Reset.
  5. Exit Firefox.
  6. Delete the adblockplus folder under your Firefox profile folder.

Thank you very much for your help.
Reseting, deleting and re-installing again worked.
