you can find webbrowser control in selected tab easily:

private void backtoolstripmenuitem_click(object sender, eventargs e) {     webbrowser wbcontrol =        frontiertabinner.selectedtab.controls.oftype<webbrowser>().firstordefault();     wbcontrol.goback();     textbox1.text = wbcontrol.url.tostring(); } 

assuming have 1 webbrowser control in each tab. otherwise you'd have know either name or index in order find it.
