404 page appears when enter a slash after the URL

[elena-zh]

It might seem as an expected behavior, but, seems to me, we can do something with this.

When I enter an URL https://cowswap.exchange/#/swap/ I get the 404 error

I do not know how, but sometimes it is added automatically when we change networks in the connected wallet (reported here #1030 (comment))

It would be nice to handle this case somehow and do not show 404 page for an URL with the slash as we do for cases:
https://cowswap.exchange/#/swap?
https://cowswap.exchange/#/swap#

I believe this began when we introduced the 404 route.
Before it would ignore everything and always point to #swap (check uniswap)

This could be added to Protofire backlog

Sometimes slash is added automatically right after connection, so a user is redirected to the 404 page, and it isa not good UX behavior.
More often the issue happens in Firefox browser.

@alfetopito , finally, I caught the root cause of the error and why slash appears after the swap in the URL when changing networks, connecting a wallet.
More than often the issue appears when connect to XDAI.
When the network is loading, we can see Import Tokens modal, that can blink for a sec, or be displayed up to 5 sec (reported in #1061 case 1)

So when I accidentally click outside of this modal area, then the URL is changing to /swap/, and then we are redirected to the 404 page.
