In the firefox configuration under the General -> Startup settings is there a way to disable the 3 buttons under the homepage? (Use Current Page, Use Bookmark, Restore to Default)

I am looking for a setting that I can put in the Mozilla.cfg file to disable those buttons from being clicked. Because when I set the homepage and lock that setting a user can still click the buttons below the homepage setting to change their homepage away from their "locked" setting

If you lock the pref that sets the home page via a lockPref line in mozilla.cfg then it should not be possible to change the home page setting.

Did you check that the pref(s) have a locked status on the about:config page?

lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.google.com/");

Yes, I have locked this setting and it seems that if the user clicks any of these buttons it will change the homepage for that current session to whichever button is clicked. On browser restart it will return to the lockedPref though.
