您的内容脚本与页面脚本（网页中已存在的脚本）的上下文/范围不同。您的内容脚本具有比授予页面脚本更高的权限。将内容脚本与页面脚本分开是浏览器扩展的正常架构，这是出于安全原因。
由于您的内容脚本与页面脚本位于不同的上下文中，因此您无法从内容脚本直接访问在页面脚本中定义的函数和变量。您可以通过几种不同的方式访问页面上下文中的信息。这样做的跨浏览器方法是使代码的某些特定部分在页面上下文中执行。我发现最方便且跨浏览器兼容的方法是创建一个<script>元素并将其插入到包含您要执行的代码的页面的 DOM 中。
你可以这样做：
function updateTask(id) {
let newScript = document.createElement('script');
newScript.innerHTML='updTask(' + id + ');';
document.head.appendChild(newScript);
//newScript.remove(); //Can be removed, if desired.
}
添加的脚本在页面上下文中运行，因为它现在是<script>DOM 中的一个元素。一旦插入<script>元素的脚本不再处理，浏览器就会识别出添加了元素并对其进行评估（执行包含的代码）。它对您添加到 DOM 的任何其他元素执行基本相同的操作。因为它是页面的一部分，所以里面的代码在页面脚本上下文/范围中运行。
将数据返回到您的内容脚本
有多种方式可以在页面上下文中运行的代码与内容脚本上下文中的代码之间进行通信。我的首选方法是使用CustomEvents。我在这个答案的第一部分描述了原因。通常，我使用至少一种自定义事件类型从页面上下文到内容脚本上下文，以及从内容脚本上下文到页面上下文的另一种。您可以根据需要使用任意数量的CustomEvent类型。我会经常使用多个事件，每个事件传达不同的东西，而不是我解析几种不同类型的消息的单一事件类型。
从内容脚本在页面上下文中执行的通用代码
维护将在页面上下文中执行的代码的最简单方法是将其编写为内容脚本中的函数，然后将该函数注入到页面上下文中。这是一些通用代码，它们将在将参数传递给您在页面上下文中执行的函数时执行此操作：
此实用程序函数executeInPage()将在页面上下文中执行一个函数并将任何提供的参数传递给该函数。参数必须是Object, Array, function, RegExp,Date和/或其他原语（Boolean, null, undefined , Number, String, 但不是Symbol）。
