I finally found it. I guess I should have quadruple checked the machine.config file. I had added the <add name="Firebird ... element AFTER the </DbProviderFactories> tag. That tag came at the end of the previous line but everything still lined up in the editor so it looked OK until I happened to notice the errant tag at the end of the previous line. I guess I was so focused on the accurate keying of the PublicKeyToken and version information that I overlooked the obvious. Sorry for the confusion.
