How to disable tab bar in aquamacs

Question

I've been trying for a bit to disable the tabbar mode in aquamacs: when I open a new file from one buffer, I'd like the file to open in the current buffer instead of opening the file in a new tab.

I've tried turning tabbar-mode off in my init.el file as follows:

(tabbar-mode 0)

but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Does anyone know if disabling tabbed buffers in aquamacs is possible? Please let me know. Thanks.

Answer 1

(tabbar-mode 0)

does actually work. I had been editing the wrong file and that is why it wasn't taking effect. For future users, ensure that you put the above line in ~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/Preferences.el (or one of the other packages that that file includes).
