You can disable images in Firefox using Python Selenium by using the Firefox profile option to set the preferences of the browser. Here's an example code snippet:

from selenium import webdriver

profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("permissions.default.image", 2)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)

In the above code, the webdriver.FirefoxProfile() method creates a new Firefox profile object. Then, the set_preference() method is used to set the Firefox preference permissions.default.image to 2. This preference value tells Firefox to block all images. Finally, the webdriver.Firefox() method is used to launch Firefox using the custom profile with image blocking enabled.

Note that this method will disable all images on the webpage, including those that are important for the user experience or functionality. Therefore, it is not recommended to use this option unless absolutely necessary.
