For design-time support, you need them in your project directory (where

Huh?
You also need to put them in the directory where the executable is
generated.
Double huh?
I don't do either of those, and I connect to firebird servers no
problems. Under Windows, download the Firebird Installation/Setup, and
simply select the "client only" option during the install. Lazarus,
FPC and your programs will work just fine then. No need to copy
Firebird DLL's around manually - the Firebird Setup does everything
for you already.
If you want to use Firebird embedded (instead of the regular server):
Never used this, but I believe in this case you need the fbembed.dll
in the same directory as the executable, or somewhere in your Library
Path.
Which is pretty much what Reinier is saying in the advice you've disparaged.
