Same issue here, using amd64 architecture, but I seem to have got it working.
Went to konsole and ran sudo firefox
I was able to save images while running in this mode though the console output 
showed the above errors regarding io-slave.  Also the graphics of the browser 
itself seemed to go into a blocky "safe mode" of sorts.  I closed firefox and 
logged out, logged back in and ran firefox as usual (no sudo priviledges) and 
saving images seems to be working for me now. 

Hope this helps track down the bug
