        }
    }

                    </li>
        </ul>
        </section>

background.js

function MyFunction1 () {
                                 localStorage.setItem("facebook", "https://www.facebook.com/");
                                window.open(localStorage.getItem("facebook"));
                                alert("ok");
                                        }

You can't call functions from background.js from non-background scripts directly. their contexts are different. You need to use Message Passing
