Dear Angel,
Have you tried to extract these dll´s inside the windows folder mentioned on error message?
Just tried to download and extract this dll on windows folders.

Yes, after I have installed the driver, I extracted the said DLL's into Windows/System32 and replaced all 4 files.
PS: Currently I have installed only Firebird x64, because my windows is 64 bits. // Should I install both, x32 and x64( although I think that's not possible)

Ok, correct.
So, I guess that you want to create a ticket/support case on Firebird Community (https://www.firebirdsql.org/en/support/) because it´s not a Qlik problem.
Sorry.

So After i contacted the Firebird bird support i got the following response:
"To access a firebird database, you need to have a firebird server running....
If there isn't one, then you should download and install a copy of the firebird server"
So the problem was that in my server i didn't have firebird server running, thats why it always gave out errors.
I reinstalled the drivers,
I installed the Firebird server, after that the Firebird ODBC(only the installation procedure,without the file with .dll's) .
After that i connected to the datasource without problem.
Thanks for your time !

Living and Learning!
Now, we know that the firebird SQL doesn´t allow direct access to database file.
Thank your for share.
