You can't prove it's false, but Jacques Mallah claimed to prove that you can't /derive/ it from QM without it ("The Many Computations Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics", 2007).  It has to be a separate postulate, because he considers some different rules for assigning probability.  These are experimentally disproven, but their existence implies that Born's rule is not logically entailed. His example avoids Gleason's theorem, because QM minus Born doesn't imply that observations across different worlds necessarily satisfy the probability axioms.

How could the Born rule be proven to be false, isn't the experimental evidence in its favor as strong or stronger than just about anything in science?
