It has a low boiling point due to the fact that there is not a very strong charge on either of the atom from the 'swashing' effect of the electrons moving around the atoms, creating instantaneous dipoles at either end of the F2 molecule. As there aren't many electrons, this means that the charges created on the atoms aren't that large and therefore the two atoms are not strongly pulled towards each other, meaning that the bonds between them can be broken easily.
