Refused does not sound like a firewall.  It sounds like your
configuration of firebird, though I am not familiar with it.  What
interfaces is it listening on?  What does your syslog say when it loads?

I don't think it is being blocked, firebird is refusing the connection. 
If it was blocked, it would not be refused, it would just timeout since
it would never connect.

I would suggest checking your Firebird config to see if you can
determine what interface(s) it is listening on.
