The gist of it is that if you have many tabs opened, and many undocked toolboxes for these tabs, keeping track of which toolbox is linked to which tab becomes hard.

1) from browser tab to toolbox: this one is easy, just switch to a tab, and press F12 (or equivalent), this will bring the corresponding toolbox to the front.

2) from toolbox to browser tab: we don't have any way to do this right now.
I suggest that we add one of two things:
- either a pref you can turn on that will automatically select the right tab when the toolbox gains focus
- or a button in the toolbox that, once clicked, selects the right tab
I had filed this already some time ago ...
