The documentation for Postgres is far better than the one for Firebird. Due to licensing issues, the Firebird project cannot publish a full set of documentation that covers all versions. They have to rebuild the docs from scratch which is happening very slowly. So when looking for specific feature you need to search several documentation sets which I find very unpleasant.
I also have the impression that there is a lot more momentum to the Postgres project than to Firebird.
