You sure? There is in mine. Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions. There's buttons for options, disable, and remove.

I've used only ABP. What have you observed the differences between that and Adblock are? (If you said so already, I missed it.)

Youtube pretty much sucks in that regard, yes.

As far as the text ads on the search engine, I've pretty much trained myself to not even notice them. For what it's worth, I'm mostly concerned with the graphic ads, and the really abusive shit like animations, popups et al, and audio/video ads. Not to mention the ad servers that serve up tasty malware.

YMMV, of course.
