• I have searched for existing issues that already report this problem, without success.

Ionic Framework Version

v7.x, v8.x

Current Behavior

This issue stems from #30552. That was solved for location-based routing, but unfortunately the problem still exists when using Ionic's memory router.

Example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/lcx3ywfg-vadxa3sf?file=src%2Fmain.tsx

(Voyager for Lemmy uses the memory router for native and PWA to prevent certain other bugs, so unfortunately can't switch to normal location based router.)

Expected Behavior

Initial tab should be selected

Steps to Reproduce

Open repro. Observe "Listen Now" is not selected.

Ionic Info

N/A

Additional Information

I think the problem is the fix uses the browser pathname for routing:

However, Ionic should use the internal router pathname instead to support memory router
