user settings on initial set-up

Having previously run my computer as a main user (admin), I read on here that it was better to use the admin one for just installing and updating things etc. and have a standard user account for everyday stuff.

I have done a fresh install and set it up as above, with the intention of doing all surfing on the standard account and using it for storing and editing photos and general documents etc.

Will this be okay for banking online, and is it better for this standard account to have a password?

Also, for anything I install on the admin account - should it automatically work on the standard account too?
After installing Firefox, although I got the icon for it in the standard account it would not load. It does however load when I click on the Firefox icon from Comodo?

Sorry for all the dumb questions

Got Firefox to work on both now.

I inadvertently installed Malwarebytes via my standard account, so have to run scans from there. I assume this scans ALL accounts on the pc though, so should not be a problem.
Is there any way of transferring it to the Admin account so I can run scans from either account? It does not show up in my Admin account at the moment.

Thanks

Glad it's sorted out. To answer another of your questions, yes I'd always advise using a password with any account.
