yum install in fedora 20 [Google chrome]

Question

I installed fedora 20 64bit to my PC along with Win 10 in duel boot and then tried to install Chrome browser according to this article, but I get below error when executing the last command. [sudo yum install google-chrome-stable]

Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit google | 3.0 kB 00:00 http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno -1] Error importing repomd.xml for google: Damaged repomd.xml file Trying other mirror. Error: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from google: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno -1] Error importing repomd.xml for google: Damaged repomd.xml file

Then I tried the URL (in above error message) in my browser(firefox) and got following error

Application Blocked! You have attempted to use an application which is in violation of your internet usage policy. Yum.Tool Category: Update URL:http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml Client IP: 192.168.20.36 Server IP: 74.125.200.136 User name:

I tried that same url in windows (same pc & same network settings in duel boot) then it's working (can download a xml file)

What could be the problem here ?

EDIT -

I tried updating firefox and get the same error message as above.

The Fedora 20 is not guilty. Although I had to install the nss from Fedora 24's release as google-chrome-current requires NSS of version 3.28 or above, all other packages come from Fedora 20:

-bash-4.2# rpm -q fedora-release nss
fedora-release-20-4.noarch
nss-3.30.2-1.0.fc24.x86_64
-bash-4.2# yum install https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm                                                                                                                                                                                |  47 MB  00:00:04
