Describe the Bug

If there's no referrer the browser gets redirected to an incorrect url after a successful login.
Usually it will be redirected to /manifest.json which is the most recent resource that was loaded by the login page.
If DevTools is open the browser will be redirected to /dist/app.js.map which shows the 404 page.

Steps to Reproduce

Enter BookStack's /login url in the browser's address bar, not by clicking the "Login" button
Enter correct login credentials and click the "Log In" button
Browser gets redirected to /manifest.json

Expected Behaviour

The browser should be redirected to the homepage.

Screenshots or Additional Context
