Hi,
You can't have an icon in system tray, unless there is an process that puts it there, so I would say your app is still running.
Try a different task manager, my suggestion would be sysinternal's Process Explorer and while you're at it, download as well autoruns tool which will help you locate and remove firebird started as application.
