Thunderbird crashes ~every 2 minutes ever since I clicked "cancel" while "Checking Add-on Compatibility." And it crashes if I try to open Tools>Add-ons.

I'm almost certain that the problem is with the Add-ons, but I have absolutely no way to access them. Even if I open the program in safe mode, it crashes instantly when I try to open the add-ons menu. Here's the crash report:

what happens if you hold shift while starting?

Shift doesn't change anything. Still crashes. Still doesn't let me access the Add-ons menu.
