I'm looking for an extension to Google Chrome that performs the same task as an extension I use all the time in Mozilla Firefox.

The extension in Firefox stops the Firefox browser and starts it again, allowing for the default "crash recovery" behavior to take place of remembering the tabs and restoring them. It does this with the click of a button:

                    enter image description here

Does any such thing exist in Chrome? While I prefer a button, I can live with a keyboard shortcut, or even a right click.

Type this into the omnibox (address bar):

chrome://restart

If you search the webstore, you’ll find at least one extension that can do it (at least according to the one person who reviewed it).

If you only want it in order to save your session, then you are asking the wrong question. It is not advisable to depend on Chrome’s crash-recovery to save your session because it is not always reliable. [1] [2]

You should use a proper session-management extension instead. A good one is Session Buddy which is very powerful, yet easy to use.
