How can I get the old feature of being able to choose which page I want to go back to? I run Firefox 8.0.1.

In older versions of Firefox, the back button has a little sliver of a button that allowed you to go back to a particular page, up to like 10 pages back. So if you knew that you wanted to jump back two or three pages, you didn't have to hit back two or three times, you just hit this little button and then selected the page you wanted to return to. Can I have this option in Firefox 8.0.1? Thanks

Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button, or right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.

Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored.
