How do I lock down the Gerneral and Advanced tab so my end users will not make any changes?
We are need to lock down the General Tab and the Advanced Tab under Tools > Options. This is to prevent our end users from installing updates, add-ons and making changes to the browser that have not been approved. We are running version 3.6.8 and will be looking at upgrading to 4 when it is released. That is when I would like to have the change made.

You will have to lock the prefs that correspond to those settings if you want to prevent other from making changes.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
There is a bug in current Firefox (Minefield) 4.0 nightly builds caused by moving files to omni.jar that currently causes locking prefs not to work.
I have gone throught the website above and did not see what I am looking for. When you go to tools > options I would like the Advanced tab and the General tab not to show up or be visible to the normal users. Do those tabs have a true/false or no/off setting?

No, but most settings have a pref associated with them.
You can make changes to settings that you want to lock.
Then you can inspect the file prefs.js in the Firefox Profile Folder to see which prefs need to be locked.
