I can't either:

[markh@aurelian ~]$ time sudo dnf install firefox
Last metadata expiration check: 1:27:25 ago on Tue Mar 29 13:44:11 2016.
Package firefox-45.0.1-2.fc23.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

real    0m2.087s
user    0m1.914s
sys     0m0.125s


Maybe a 'dnf clean all' might help with that.
