The Userguide of Codeigniter 3 (still Release Candidate) mentions that now has support for Firebird:

Added Interbase / Firebird database support via the ibase driver.

This means that the installation package CI 3 includes it, although you could previously use Firebird in CodeiIgniter 2 by the driver developed by Carlos García ( https://github.com/cgarciagl/Firebird-for-Codeigniter ) .
