To resign yourself and use Firefox, I'm afraid...

Sadly -and I'd like this was just my experience, but many other people experience similar issues-, Konqueror just sucks. It crashes, doesn't load correctly lots of pages -especially important ones, like banks and such-, doesn't handle Flash nor Java well, its bookmarks manager  -at least if you have several hundred bookmarks- crashes even more, its address bar behavior is antediluvian compared to FF's one, it "forgets" addresses you may have visited 5 days ago, etc, etc.
So even if FF is heavier and GTK is ugly, backwards and its bad integration into KDE is a crime against every decent human being's aesthetical sense, it's solid and reliable like granite, and you can always "QT-ize" it a bit.
Also, you can try Arora. I have no idea about it beyond it uses Webkit and QT, but never tried nor read too much about it.

I can reproduce it, although in my box Konqueror doesn't freeze until I have changed font size 4 or 5 times. I'll comment on b.k.o.

I don't know too much about web design and programming software, but there's Amaya, the editor made by the W3C, which I believe is QT. Don't know if it's comprable to Quanta, nor if it's in the repos, but if you want to try it's here: http://www.w3.org/Amaya/
