The parameter tells you whether you are running Classic (-c or no parameter) or Superclassic (-s or -m) Note, for SC it should be -m but I have two SC installations here both showing -s so I suspect a benign bug in the instsvc q output.
If you are inspecting Processes, don't forget to enable "Show processes from all users". A default installation of Firebird runs under SYSTEM.

Type "instsvc q" (without the quotes) and hit Enter. It will show you the path to the executable that is running as a service.
