Starting from FB2.5 you will be able to drop the attachment
responsible for the transaction.
Aside from that there is no other easy way that I know of.

FWIW, your transactions should not be open forever. The server is
supposed to detect dropped connections and roll back their
transactions. You may want to look into why yours is not doing it. May
be some OS-level TCP setting, or some parameter in firebird.conf.
