Can black move the pawn at F7 to F5 when white pawn is at G5? I thought it was not allowed to move past a pawn on the first move from home line.

Jebus. Learn the rules. You might look up castling, stalemate, and pawn promotion while you're at it.

Castling - game played by children involving building of sandcastles at the beach

stalemate - what you best friends become after 7 nights constant drinking and playing poker without leaving the room.

pawn promotion - cheap deals on chess sets, normally one or two pieces missing so cheap promotional offer.

If the site allows the move, then it's legal. If you don't understand it, google it.
