Hi,

i’m not sure if this behavior (bug?) is introduced with the latest version or if it exists for a longer time.

Steps to reproduce:

Ionic version:

```auto
cli packages: (/usr/local/lib/node_modules)

    @ionic/cli-utils : 1.9.2
    ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.9.2

local packages:

    @ionic/app-scripts : 2.1.3
    Ionic Framework : ionic-angular 3.6.0

System:

    Node : v8.1.3
    npm : 5.3.0 
    OS : macOS Sierra

```

1. Create a new blank project:

```auto
ionic start TestApp blank

```

1. Generate new page:

```auto
ionic g page test

```

1. Create a button on the homepage which pushes a new page on the nav stack.  
home.ts

```auto
push() {
  this.navCtrl.push('test');
}

```

home.html:

```auto
<ion-content padding>
  <button ion-button (click)="push()">Nav!</button>
</ion-content>

```

1. Start the app in the browser:

```auto
ionic serve

```

1. App starts with the following url:

```auto
localhost:8100

```

1. Press the “Nav!” - Button and the test page is shown with URL:

```auto
localhost:8100/#/test

```

1. Press “Back”-Button (in the app, not browser!), app shows the homepage and the url is:

```auto
localhost:8100/#/test

```

Shouldn’t it be localhost:8100 again? If you have livereload, then the app launches after recompile  
the testpage instead of the homepage!

Cheers,  
Ronny

If you don’t use lazy loaded pages, all works as expected… So is it a bug?
