If you have Firefox still set to Google as your default search engine and you don't want Firefox to offer you a context menu item "Search Image with Google Lens" (when you're over an image), the about:config preference you want is browser.search.visualSearch.featureGate (set to false). This will also disable this feature for any other search engine that Mozilla adds a visual search option for in the future.
