Probably fixed with standalone-webkit (as many, many other issues):

What indicates that this is due to qtwebkit? Have you tried downgrading it?

Can you look into the network traffic (in browser or wireshark) at what happens?

qt-webkit-4.8.* do not really get updates. There are so many crashes, weird behavior, etc. that get fixed by either using qtwebkit-2.3 or Qt5.
Btw: Here is a link to a similar bugreport from Qupzilla:
https://github.com/QupZilla/qupzilla/issues/448
There MIGHT be a chance to fix this by changing the user agent. Look into the duplicate bug (867) there are commits, you might want to try using that User agent for facebook.

I do not have a facebook account, I also won't register, so I can't confirm or track down anything.

I'm marking this as a duplicate of 388207, although technically it's not. We should really switch to qtwebkit-2.3...
