All you need to do is get an ODBC driver try:

Install this and Create a DSN for your new Firebird database
Then create an new Access Database and Use the GET EXTERNAL DATA | LINK
TABLES
Change the File Type it is looking for to ODBC
Now Select your ODBC data source.
I can not say I have ever used this for any serious client interface
work but it certainly works on an example I just tried by linking a
single table to a simple fdb I have here.
When gets to Joining tables and using views I have not tried that.
