Use FlameRobin, the best Firebird GUI (AFAIK), written in C++ & wxWidgets (=Cross-Platform).

There is nothing "official" about FlameRobin. https://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/html/en/firebirddocs/qsg3/firebird-3-quickstartguide.html#qsg3-config-admintools – The incredible Jan Nov 01 '21 at 07:37
@The incredible Jan; Fine, you're right - changed that. But it ships with Ubuntu's default-repositories ;) – Stefan Steiger Nov 01 '21 at 09:21

I love IBExpert. I know, it's not freeware. Just wanted to mentioned it.

You can go with one Java based tool like Oracle's SQLDeveloper, Eclipse's SQLExplorer or SQUIRREL-SQL. Of course, for all these tools, you will need Firebird's JDBC driver. And a little bit of Java knowledge to setup your connections.

SQL Maestro Group offers AnySQL Maestro (a freeware tool for all DBMS accessible via OLE DB/ODBC). They also have Firebird Maestro, but it is a shareware.
