Well, you're not saying anything specific about the exception (at least which provider - EF or ADO.NET?) nor how's the assembly loaded (because you can as well use the config file, depending on how it's loaded).
Let's guess that it's a ADO.NET provider, then you're probably missing the DbProviderFactory piece (https://github.com/cincuranet/EF6_Firebird/blob/master/CodeFirst/App.config#L12). With that, I would go the easiest way and pass directly FbConnection to DbContext's ctor. -- Mgr.
