You could re-install the rpmfusion keys just in case there is some
corruption (say, a bit flip in storage).

That's where mine came from.  Like Samuel, though, my version is
2.8.15-1.  I think you should try a 
dnf clean metadata
and also look in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf to see if there is some cruft in
your dnf configuration that has prevented updating of metadata.

They are dependencies of firefox, so yes.  But the weak dependency is
just that.  You can remove it, and firefox should run just fine, only
losing the functionality that it gave (Digital VCR and streaming
server).  If you don't need it, that might be the way to go.

I don't know if these will work, but I would try them in your situation.
