Yuhong, hello again! :-) I'm not sure why you keep trying to get Mozilla to drop support for Windows XP SP2. I think we have had this discussion numerous times, some recent examples include bug 1124017, bug 1236931, bug 1064387, bug 1136775, etc (also in other fora such as <https://lists.mozilla.org/pipermail/dev-planning/2015-June/000770.html>. In case the previous discussions have not made this clear, we will *not* drop support for Windows XP SP2 because one person keeps asking for it. There are a lot of reasons why we would consider dropping support for a platform, for a very recent example you can see the thread about dropping support for OSX 10.6-8 going on in the past couple of weeks, I suggest reading previous similar discussion to get a better understanding of why making this decision is a lot trickier than it may appear at first.
