This article is devoted to the study of stability conditions for a class of quasi-equilibrium problems with variable cones in normed spaces. We introduce concepts of upper and lower semicontinuity of vector-valued mappings involving variable cones and their properties, we also propose a key hypothesis. Employing this hypothesis and such concepts, we investigate sufficient/necessary conditions of the Hausdorff semicontinuity/continuity for solution mappings to such problems. We also discuss characterizations for the hypothesis which do not contain information regarding solution sets. As an application, we consider the special case of traffic network problems. Our results are new or improve the existing ones.
