What plugins are installed?

If you mean Add-ons then, as noted, even in Safe mode, the problem presists. In Safe Mode all Add-ons are disabled.

I mean plugins, not extensions.

See attached

The crash appears to be related to a file 'externalservice.dll'. You may search your disk to which application that DLL belongs to. Your list of plugins doesn't give me anymore clues. And you tried safe mode already. There isn't much more I can suggest.

the software keeps crashing

Not exactly sure what that means. Your last crash report is from July. That's more than two month ago.

This was a Birdiesync file. If you are familiar with the app, it syncs email client with Android smartphones. I deleted the program. We'll see if it solves the problem.
