Is there a way to keep pinned tabs on the current website? I would like to pin a few tabs that persist even if I use the URL bar to navigate away from it.

Let's say I have gmail as a pinned tab. Currently if I'm in gmail and I type in a different URL then gmail is no longer available, I'd like firefox to know that I want to keep gmail open and it would open the URL in a different tab. Is this a possibility or is there an extension that could help with this?

You can't protect a tab this way. You will have to open a new tab by clicking the '+' icon and then open the website or force the website to open in a new tab via "Option + Enter/Return".
