our website needs certain settings to be as it is set and hence want that no user can make changes to config or Firefox settings even unintentionally. How can I lock all the settings as they are right now. I check we can lock the config but they are way too much, can we lock everything as it is

We want that whatever settings are saved currently, it stay like that and no user can change them (all of them). Not even by mistake So We can not do it one by one as this will take whole lot of time. Is there any tool or add-on or any setting that can lock all the config. and preference as it is

Is there a reason why there can't be different account user with password protection so what one does in their account doesn't affect others?

You can block access to about:config and prevent Safe Mode via policies.json or GPO, but you can't block access to the about:preferences page, so you would have to lock important preferences via an autoconfig.cfg file. Keep in mind that the about:config page also includes prefs that Firefox uses internally
