experiment-detail page: back button broken

[jaredhirsch]

Seems like the history / pushState behavior needs some work.

STR:

1. Load an experiment detail page
2. Hit the 'back' button
3. The 'home' route is shown in the urlbar, but the 'home' page doesn't load

@meandavejustice Was this fixed by PR #142?

Need to do some heavier testing here, I have a hunch it may be an issue with ampersand's router in firefox.

This actually seems to be a difference in the interpretation of the pushstate spec in firefox vs blink.

Here are some bugs:

Hmm, this bug is weird.

If I hit /home, click on an experiment, then hit back - it seems to work as expected. I can click back & forth as much as I want.

But, if I hit /home, click on an experiment, focus on the URL bar & hit return (not quite a reload), then hit back - things break such that /home never appears despite URL bar changes.

Right, that's what I'm experiencing too :(

Trying this as an upstream fix to Ampersand, just for the sake of completeness
