Comment (by nofearinc):

 Confirmed, I can reproduce it on Firefox.

 There is a problem with the base_id while fetching widgets. In `wp-
 includes/widgets.php` the `update_callback` function is fetching the
 **$settings** array as an array with a single element (the widget ID) for
 Chrome and 2 elements (widget ID + the literal `__i__`) on Firefox.

 The `__i__` literal is set to widgets when the widget number is equal to
 -1 (to avoid bad referencing for non-existing widget ID). `wp-
 admin/js/widgets.js` is calling some replace functions over __i__ and it
 is probably not handled correctly (maybe order of operations issue for
 non-Webkit as widgets being saved before widget ID has been initialized).
 Still looking at it, but apparently the __i__ string is causing a second
 array to be fetched in `widgets.php` where one of the values is stored
 there instead of in the original widget ID referred array.
