We are successfully using the following command to open a Windows firewall port exception:
netsh.exe firewall add portopening TCP 3050 "Firebird Server (3050/tcp)"
And the following command could be used to remove this rule (for uninstalller):
netsh.exe firewall delete portopening TCP 3050
But I would concede that Hugues solution (above) is better (e.g.: we could change FB listen port). Did you have any trouble to integrate it into the current installer?
P.S.: Actually, this is NOT the "recommended" way to do it in Windows Vista/Server 2008 or later. But it surely works in all OS since XP/SP1. And I doubt Microsoft would break compatibility for a so-important feature like this, even with their warnings :)

Can It be possible to ask in the Firebird Install if you want to add the fbserver.exe and fbguard.exe in the firewall exception ?
I look in the InnoSetup install and don't find it.
the command line to make this is quite easy :
netsh.exe firewall add allowedprogram "c:\program files\firebird\Firebird_2_1\bin\fbguard.exe" fbguard
netsh.exe firewall add allowedprogram "c:\program files\firebird\Firebird_2_1\bin\fbserver.exe" fbserver
or I think you can make it with the port...
