To show the provider in server explorer on x64 computers, you need to change the FirebirdDDEXProvider.reg file entries from... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\... to... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\... That is, you need to add "Wow6432Node" to each line. It then works just like in 32bit machines.
